Obviously a tough spot to be in. The key is to differentiate between coaches you can talk to and coaches you can't. This guy appears from the thread to be one you couldn't talk to. At that point a simple "Coach I've had enough" might have sufficed. If not, the rules give you a powerful weapon that needs to be used at times. Another that I've used is "Coach, that's strike two and you know what happens on third". I also heard this approach "Coach, I'd really like you to see the end of this ballgame but it's really up to you whether you do or not". If the coach doesn't get the point after that, there is one signal that he/she will clearly understand "T". If not he/she might get to see it twice just so you're clear he/she understood it.
