Partner and Coach discussing a call

Obstruction awarded to a runner advancing on a hit from 2nd the third.... partner on bases gets a "time" request from OC and they proceed to "discuss" this on the third base line behind third base. I proceed about 2/3 up the line and go into stand-by for trouble mode.
Birds are chirping.... clouds are lite and fluffy... i do my grocery list in my head. I look at partner and point at my wrist, he turns his back and continues talking. I recheck watch in my bag and its 7 minutes into this discussion... Coach starts YELLING at partner.... I move closer. Coach hushes, I stop. 3 more minutes pass. Coach yells some more... I walk up to them and I am getting a little miffed. Ohhh yeah, this is a 1 hour time limit tournament. I mention it to them and partner looks at me like WTF did you just say? So now im close and coach starts in on me, I give him 2 or 3 sentences and say ok i heard you coach... lets play ball, and we proceed to do just that.
I really think (know) I handled this poorly.
What would or have you guys done in this situation?
