IMHO, you should have tossed him from the game but I personally think you pulled the trigger to quick on the forfeit. Coaches will try and "get their money's worth" after being ejected. I don't care what they say, as long as they are saying it while they are walking off the field.

Now if the coach is not moving off the field and still talking, I would simply ask another coach if the first coach is refusing to leave in a timely manner? That will likely ring a bell in any coach that knows anything about the rules and he will probably try to escort the ejected coach off the field. He should know what's coming next and probably doesn't want to lose on a forfeit any more than you want to call one. Additionally, if the ejected coach is going to listen to anyone, it will likely be his other coaches. I would be hesitant to call the game unless the guy was being a real d!ck and not leaving.
