Yes.

I think you have to do both. Ignoring coaches only works for so long. In a situation like this, talking to just the home coach would really have gotten the visiting coach steamed even more, possibly getting himself run out of the building.
The non-calling official has to be responsive to both coaches, has to back up what his partner did, and not appear to favor either coach - yet another reason why a 3-person crew is ideal.
