Ejected coach doesn't leave immediately

Once again, as usual here on the Forum, it's probably one of those, "When in Rome ....", situations.

Here in Connecticut, high school athletic directors, high school principals, school superintendents, assignment commissioners, and the interscholastic high school sports governing body, would have absolutely no problem if a basketball referee forfeited a game because an ejected coach refused to leave the gymnasium in a timely manner. No one would even blink an eye.
