You should have nipped it in the bud right here.

A coach who starts out of the dugout yelling at you should immediately be told to return to his dugout. If he doesn't understand that proper decorum dictates that he be granted time to come out to discuss a call, he'll soon get the message if you remind him to return to the dugout. If he keeps coming out, dump him.
