If I'm reffing, this would be my cue to put the ball on the floor. If coach thought the timer started counting prematurely, he should have asked an assistant to talk to you about it right at the beginning of the time-out. Or even said something at the first horn. He's being fractious, and it would not be out of line at all to give him exactly what he asked for -- he's already used his full 60, and now it's time to start. Be sure your partner is on the same page. Use some intense eye contact, or huddle if convenient.

Agreed.
"Coach, 60 seconds are up. We're starting."
RPP. Normally, I'll give them leeway if they're moving. However, if he pops off at me like that after the 2nd horn, the TO is over and I'm moving on with the game.

I can't remember ever putting the ball on the floor in a varsity game, but with a comment like that I woldn't be able to get it on the floor soon enough. The resulting comment would likely result in a technical.
