Is he really meaning to imply that if there was a fight, there would have been a reason to come out?

Way to take that out of context. The coach implied that despite it being against the rules and the player would be ejected anyway, he would live with such an ejection if the player was trying to be a peacemaker.

Even though I would have to eject the player for coming out of the dugout, I understand his statement, and agree with it. Any other level of ball if a player is a peacemaker it is a good thing, some may be closer and able to get there quicker than a coach anyway. That is not to say I disagree with the rule.
