Unzip your pants before you pee on him.

You go to whom you perceive to be the next in command of the team and inform him/her that if they would like the game to continue, they need to have the ejected individual leave the property.

If s/he tells you they are not in charge, inform them of the field promotion and reiterate the "suggestion".

If the coach is still there and no one from the team is making an effort to satisfy your request, gather your partner, walk to the opposing scorekeeper, sign the book effecting a forfeit and leave the field.

Please note: Forfeiting a game is the last resort. OTOH, it is something that an umpire cannot be afraid to do should the occasion call for it.

I assume you mean after clearly reminding the ejected coach that leaving the field immediately is required for the game to continue.

I like the NCAA mechanics on ejections from the NCAA manual...

One you have ejected a coach, you are done with him/her. If you are going to continue to engage in conversation (term used loosely), you shouldn't have ejected in the first place.

Once a coach has been ejected, the partner now needs to step in to get the coach off the field and the game underway. Don't agree or disagree with the coach, just keep saying stuff like...."It's over, you gotta go", "Come on, let's get the game moving", etc. As Mike said, appeal to the assistant or next in line to help get the ejected person off the field. Do everything you can to avoid the forfeiture, but don't hesitate to do it if you have to.

Of course, if you're working solo, you don't have a partner to rely on, so you deal with it as necessary.

No. When I tell a player or coach they are ejected, gone or whatever, though quiet, will leave no doubt as to their status. That means they are ejected and by rule, they must leave the property (speaking ASA).

I'm not going to continue any conversation with a coach who is not longer permitted to be on the field.

An ejected coach has now become a dead coach. I don't see, hear, or talk to dead people.
