He's going to stand there and waste his time-out and just look at you. And you want to toss him? I personally would just stand there and stare back. Maybe blow him a little kiss or something.
I often chastise crew (tony) for mentioning "how things are done in college", but this one example stands out in my mind. I saw this exact same thing from John Chaney during a Temple game. He was pissed, called a TO, stood 3 feet onto the floor and just stared at the official at midcourt. Stared at him for 75 seconds. Never took his eyes off him, I'm not sure he ever blinked. But so what? He looked like an idiot and then the game continued.
I would not have T'd a coach for staring, as long as he did it from the bench "area". I wouldn't consider that to be taking care of bidness.

Chuck, to my mind taking care of business means getting the
coach off the floor. That means walking over & telling
him to get off. If he doesn't comply he gets the T. I
agree you don't T this from across the court.
