ASA - 1B Coach runs out on field during live ball to argue a call at 2B

I realize each game is a new beginning, but obviously this particular assistant coach appears to have a real problem. Being as the head coach is responsible for the actions of their staff and team, at what point do you send the head coach packing along with the assistant?

I would find that very difficult to do as an umpire. If I was running the event and the same coach was ejected multiple times, at that point we, as a tourney staff, have an issue that needs to be addressed, but that is way above the role of an umpire.

I find it shocking as well that he was not suspended/banned from the event for multiple ejections.

I personally don't buy the entire it's too hard to set up a committee to do it properly argument. If it is done in advance, the committee is already made up. At that point the only tricky part is getting the committee together to be able to rule when needed. This could, depending on who is on the committee and the schedule of events, be a nightmare, but having the committee already set up should not be a problem at all.
