Part of what I've been encouraged to do in NCAA is try to keep the coach in the game by listening longer than I would if I were in Pro ball. Logically, then, if and when I finally do dump him, as far as I'm concerned he's already told me what he thinks, I've already explained my position, and he's been repeating himself to the point of wasting everyone's time AND delaying the game. That's why once I dump someone, I'm done talking - and listening - and I turn and walk away and expect my partner to be there to escort him off.
That's not to say that I don't have "quick" ejections when I hear "magic" words, but those are pretty much understood by everyone involved.
