Speaking FED.

Book does not specifically address this issue. So you are left with a judgement call. So if you judge it to be a mistake, then simply correct it by moving the runners.

But if you think that it was deliberate, then you have the USC weapon at your disposal. 3.3.o "commit any unsporting act to include . . . . behavior in any manner not in accordance with the spirit of fair play."

Now you have a choice of penalties for the players - Warning with ejection for subsequent violation, or ejection now. If you deem the coach in violation of 3.3.o then your choice is restriction to bench, or ejection.

And you are correct - there are NO outs associated with ejection.

Depending on the level of play, and the quality of the game - you have a lot of lattitude. Common sense takes precidence over literal interpretation of rules.
