To me, prior games may be relevant. If I knew this hair-trigger guy had been tossed the previous 2 days, I'd be just as quick with an ejection.

If I didn't know, I may have opted to cut him some slack telling him he couldn't be where he was. He was already on the field, i.e. didn't come charging out from a dugout, but should have remained in the vicinity of the coaches' box.

If a coach gets tossed, are there sanctions? A game suspension? Tossed twice, out for the balance of the tournament? Are these decisions that would be made by the UIC and/or TD?
