If the coach is still there and no one from the team is making an effort to satisfy your request, gather your partner, walk to the opposing scorekeeper, sign the book effecting a forfeit and leave the field.
Please note: Forfeiting a game is the last resort. OTOH, it is something that an umpire cannot be afraid to do should the occasion call for it.

I assume you mean after clearly reminding the ejected coach that leaving the field immediately is required for the game to continue.
