Partner T's him.
Early in the second, I look up and he is near the baseline yapping away. I tell him to have a seat. Same thing next 2 times down the floor.

Larry,if you re-read the comments above that you're referring to,they're all pretty well unanimous in saying that one warning is all that you should give.I agree with that completely.If you're warning someone repeatedly for the same thing,it's no wonder that they tend to ignore you if you're not going to do anything. If you read your post above,you warned the coach 3 times after he got his T.If you're just gonna warn and not do anything about it,of course the coach is gonna ignore you.That's the exact same mistake that Ace made in his situation. Just something to think about.

Technically I didn't warn him, I asked him to have a seat
However, you are right and in a "real" game he would have made an exit earlier. In this case I was simply trying to be "nice" and keep him in the rec game. I knew that was not my job, but for the sake of the kids I tried. They stayed close until the coach left but the "assistant" couldn't seem to figure out how to adjust. It was really a shame, the players listened to the coach when he wasn't yapping at the officials.
These were young kids and in rec ball I tend to put up with more from the coach than with the older kids.
You know, you just can't help some people.
