How Long do you hold your stop sign?

I know everyone has been talking about T's recently but I saw this in a boys V game and was woundering if the stop sign was held too long.

Coach becomes upset that the ref is not counting 5 seconds quick enough. He stops his feet and shouts 5 seconds a few times. a few seconds later another closley gaurded count is started by the ref, but not quick enough for the coach. He does the same thing. This time he gets the stop sign, only to have all 3 of his coaches on the bench do the same thing at the stop sign. The stop sign must have been held up for a good 7 - 8 seconds or so and the coach was not slowing down. Luckly for the coach the other team scored. My question is would you have held the stop sign that long, and more generally how long will you hold the stop sign, or allow a coach to go on after a stop sign.
