Regarding the Baseball IQ of this particular coach, how in the hell do guys like this get to be coaches in the first place? My dad would have hung me up by the beltloops 50 years ago if I had hit a batter twice in the head instead of standing and throwing it firmly back to the pitcher.
There is a notion, a citation, called SIP in many states ... "Stupid in Public." No, it's not real, but law enforcement jokes about it all the time ... wishing they could hand out citations simply because people are stupid in public.
I really think we need some kind of a mechanism in youth baseball for these scenarios.
"Coach ... I'm sorry ... I have to call SIP ... your next three batters will start their at bats with an 0-1 count."
If he continues to display his unmitigated ignorance, hit him with another one. Start the next three batters with 0-2.
If he continues, don't eject him ... just call the next three batters out on automatic strikeouts.
I SWEAR I would back such a system for Varsity High School Coaches who make up Sh-- all the time, then SWEAR that it's somewhere in the Rule Book.
Can't figure out the Courtesy Runner rules? OK ... sorry Coach ... that's IIP ... bordering on SIP ... tell #21 he's running for your pitcher, but he has to take off his left shoe, and he has to carry 10 lb dumbbells as he circles the bases.
