If I use the adjective "Charge", that coach will be getting ejected.
USSSA
RULE 11. SPORTSMANSHIP
Sec 2. A coach, player, substitute, attendant or other bench personnel shall not:
-P. Charge an Umpire.
PENALTY L-T: If it is the FIRST OFFENSE and is judged to be of a minor
nature, an offending player may be warned or an offending coach may be
restricted to the bench. If not minor or a subsequent offense, the Umpire shall
eject the offender from the game. Failure to comply shall result in the game
being forfeited. Any coach restricted to the bench shall be ejected for further
misconduct. A coach may leave the bench/dugout to attend to a player who
becomes ill or injured.

There is a difference between charging an umpire and charging onto the field.
