Ejected players are not expected to go "poof" - but they are expected to promptly begin gathering their stuff to leave and to then leave. The "one minute" is a tool to ensure that happens.

Not possible! That player/coach is gone. If they are gone, it means they cannot be there.
I will remind the "new" manager. For that matter, that is part of the problem in MLB/MiLB when a team member goes off. They stand there and watch them. Hell, forget the putz you just tossed. Go find out who the sub/replacement his, record their name, tell the scorekeeper(if you have one) what just occurred and return to the plate to continue the game. If the idiot is still putting on his show, consider declaring a forfeit, but first remind the "new" manager that this guy needs to get off the field. If the "new" manager chooses to ignore you, start the process over finding "new" manager #2.
That's why I will not give anyone a big heave-ho. I refuse to be their stooge.
