I'd say that you're about to handle this one wrong too.

If the coach ignores you, charge him/her with a full time-out. When the warning horn goes with 15 seconds left in the time-out, tell whatever team you're in front of that's the first(warning) horn. When the second horn goes to signify the end of the time-out, tell the team that the time-out is over. Give 'em a few seconds to get their players out on the court. No need to be overly-officious on this one. If the team still hasn't broken their huddle, then use the appropriate resuming-play procedure depending on which team is delaying, as per rule 7-5-1.

No need to go looking for trouble. Just follow the prescribed procedures and deal with whatever comes up.
