How about on the college level?

After a close play (safe), if a hothead coach comes running out toward you at 2nd from the 3rd base coach's spot yelling at you that that should have been an out, do you give an NCAA (JUCO) coach leeway? Or do you toss him then and there?

I'm not tossing a coach just because he's running at me. I don't think that warrants an ejection.

Probably some leeway but not a lot. Ditto varsity.

I know that this is nitpicking, but if the 3rd base coach comes running over yelling that I should have called the runner out, maybe I would just go ahead and ring up the out, and let the coach go back to his coach's box, without tossing him...He might not, however, be an NCAA (JUCO) coach long after that.

I'd have to say it would depend greatly on the demeanor of the individual running out to discuss the call. If the manager were to sprint out in haste and get to me ready to ask what I saw, or have a legitimate discussion about his opinion of the call; he stays in the game. But if he were to sprint out ranting and raving spewing all kinds of garbage on the way; he's done without ever getting the courtesy of hearing what I had on the play.
