My suggestion is that once you say, 'now let's play ball, coach', you turn and get back to your position. If the coach chooses at that point to follow you, that's when you EJ.
You explained your ruling, and stated you would not be changing the call. Time to play, and move on. Anything else he said after that is too much. It's on you if you 'invite' more dialog then needed.
