I would do the following. And correct me if I'm wrong; I only have 27 posts after all! (wink, wink)
First of all, I'd make sure to let the coach see that his staring is not influencing me and most of all, I would NOT avoid his glance for all the duration of the timeout because he would know that he's making me feel uncomfortable. I'd just try to stay natural and after a while, I'd go see him and ask : "Can I help you with something, coach?"
After that, it would be easy to improvise depending on his answer.
What do you think?
