True, ejection is not appropriate here. However, a "didn't you cover your ground rules at the pre-game meeting coach?" may be. Not loud to show up the coach, but to definitely get their attention.

It is the home team's responsibility to provide the ground rules, though if not offered, the umpire should ask the coach for them before allowing the coach's to leave the plate area at the pre-game.

This should have been a "ground" rule double and you should have been able to sell it.
