I would stand there and engage in a conversation that would either get him back to coaching (I think that is what coaches are suppose to do) or get him back to communicating with me without his unsportsmanlike conduct and playing to the crowd.
Now...if his communicating with me becomes unsporting...then I have something more tangible than staring to "work with".
Don't get me wrong...I don't want to "bait him" (even though some might say he is baiting me with the staring)...I want to "educate him" in the proper ways to handle our obvious communication break-down. If he is a quick learner...then we can be on our way with no further problems...if not, well, it's his choice.

I neither want to bait or educate, and I for sure am not worried about being "showed up", 'cause I got a million and one ways to get him back. Let him stare all he wants in this case (I just know Chuck's gonna find that thread where we argued staring). He gets 20 seconds or 10seconds depending on the rules and that is it, after the that the game is going to start again. But I can see how the staring deal is annoying. I've used your approach (walk over while asking "Say coach, I couldn't help that you're looking at me...is there something I can help you with?") but it aint worth it to me any more. You wanna stare? Go ahead, it don't mean sh1t to me.
