If the coach wants to spend his precious 60 seconds (or 30, or 75, or whatever) looking at you, you cannot T him/her for that. If you want to do something, wink at him or blow a kiss or put on a big dexter-eating grin and stare back.

I completely disagree Chuck.
First of all, a coach (and the players) can be on the floor during a time-out so that isn't what the T was for.
Second of all, if you wink or blow him a kiss, you are just inciting him and becoming involved in his antics so that is much worse.
Trying to "walk him back to his huddle" once he's reached that point would most likely be pointless or throw gas on the fire.
If his whole purpose for the time-out is to stare at you and it's obvious to you and everyone in the gym, that is very unsportsmanlike.
