I agree with you, but he didn't leave the area, he settled down and the game finished. How do you dump him when he goes back to his spot after the lecture and warning? What disservice did he do to the next guy? He did exactly as you said, warn and then dump if he continues, which he did not do, according to the OP.

I warn him while he is in the box/area (we all know they tend to roam a bit), and then when he leaves the box to come to me to argue I toss him. (I don't pretend this is MLB, but I think they have the idea right to toss the mgr when he comes out to argue balls/strikes).
