My partner and I have an excellent system in place for when a coach gets T'd up. The calling official adminsiters and the other official talks to the offending coach, explaining the T if it was on a player, if it was on a coach, the non-calling official will explain how he wants the coach to behave for the rest of the game, i.e. "coach by rule you must remain seated for the remainder of the game, and any further unsporting actions will no longer be tolerated from anyone on your bench... It actually works really well. I don't feel its being disloyal unless their talking about you when your partner is talking to the coach.

It is not disloyal if they are talking about you, as long as it is not crossing the line. Part of the reason to go over to "notify" the coach is to let them vent and get things under control.
Now if this venting takes longer then it takes to shoot the free throws or it is full of hystrionics then your partner needs to take care of business.
