Would you take the "questioning" from a player either in the game or on the bench? Why would an assistant coach be any different? Anyone who crosses the line gets the "T". If they are getting close to the line and it is convenient, I will warn the captain or the head coach that the behavior of a player or coach is getting close to receiving a "T". If that does not work, the "T" is then called.

They don't have to agree with my calls, just coach. If they can't coach under these circumstances, the gentle reminder of a "T" usually gets their attention. I will say I have found the warnings to be extremely effective.
