Stare down

[Dudly]

JV Boys. The game is pretty much a blow out. Visitors are getting beat by 25+. I call a foul on red and it turns out to be his 5th. I notify my partner, the player, the coach (and tell him he has 30 sec to get me a replacement) , then ask the table to start the clock. Fully expecting him to get a sub up and give him a quick talk, I took a position about halfway between the table and center court.
The coach decided to stand there and stare me down. My first reaction was to match him. I did this for a few seconds then decided I didn't want to appear "defiant" so I broke it off. After about 20 seconds he wanted a TO. Told him he could have one after I got a sub.
All that finally worked out. My question is has this ever happened to you and how did you handle it?
