"Coach - are you requesting an official conference?"
"Yes." - then go talk to him.
"No." - "Then get off the field coach before you get ejected with your 2nd Unsportsmanlike Penalty."
I've worked with some that will charge a coach with a TO in a case like this, and "force" it to be an official conference.
I'd err on the side of keeping him in the game, since it was the apparent indecision on the crew's fault for causing the confusion in the first place.
