If the coach is still there when the clock runs out, you forfeit the game. Use the score in the book if the non-forfeiting team is ahead. If not, put it down as 2-0. Write all of the details on the back of the score sheet. And then write a complete and detailed report when you get home and send it to whomever the power-that-be is.
Been there, done that.

Other than taking too long to start the 60-second clock, that is what was done, at least until he appeared on the balcony. It did seem they took more flack from this guy than they should have, for whatever reason. I have actually two wins in my career from coaches refusing to leave after the second T, though to be fair I was winning late in both games.
