I would like to add a couple of points.
First, remember that how you deal with an assistant coach says something about the person (umpire) you are. Many assistant coaches will become head coaches eventually. Treating them with respect is important I believe. However, I take less verbiage from an assistant than I do from a head coach. What I'm saying, be careful about saying that you not going to listen to them because they are an assistant coach.
Having said that, if an assistant questioned my integrity three times, he would probably get the boot.
