OK, Now I'm understanding the question better.

The 1 minute is up to the discretion of the official, but it's a courtesy. Once it's clear that the coach is trying to refuse to leave, I'm simply telling him he needs to leave immediately or his team will forfeit the game. Putting a clock on it is simply a visual aid, and a line in the sand.

Sometimes standard practice doesn't get written down for a reason.

Edit to add:

This may be a local expectation. A number of practices aren't written, such as the courtesy of warning the coach when his behavior approaches sportsmanship guidelines. That's not written because often times we simply skip the courtesy warning and call the T. This is the same thing. The minute on the clock is a courtesy to give him a chance to compose himself and leave. It's not required, you could forfeit as soon as he announces that he's refusing to leave. If he's questioning the 60 second window, simply let him know you're not obligated to give him any time at all and he needs to start moving for the exit immediately.
