With regards to the play where the assistant coach got off the bench and onto the floor, you could've technically gave a 'T' right there. But, in practice I'd probably give a warning to him or the head coach, too. However, the 2nd time he got up off the bench I think it needs to be dealt with more forcefully because clearly your goodwill gesture to talk to the head coach didn't work.
If my partner(s) don't 'T' the assistant that 2nd time, then I'd step up and do it because game management-wise you can't be upstaged in this manner.
I think what's important in this situation is communication with your partner(s). If you had a deadball situation where you could talk to the head coach, then you had an opportunity to tell your parner(s) that you gave a warning and the next time it's a technical foul. If you did this and your partner still doesn't call a technical, then you lose credibility as a crew.
The coach can't and won't argue this technical because you gave an appropriate warning. He knew it was coming and the whole gym knew it was coming. His problem should be with his assistant.
