Explanation that the rules allow for an official to have a visible count while watching play doesn't suffice. Warning to coach that I've heard enough and we're playing on, along with the stop sign does not deter him.
Walk away from him, ideally towards the opposite site of the court.

Anybody have this happen? Anybody handle it differently?
You most definitely had to whack him. Whether it's after stop sign 1 or 2 is the question. Waiting until SS2 is fine with me, given the description of your play.
