And Boone was actually ejected, Williams was not.

It makes a good visual, but it's not an apt comparison. And I've seen managers accused of having meltdowns (I've seen, on TV at least, managers having meltdowns) and having them described more or less as that (Billy Martin and Lew Piniella both come to mind).
