Different story, similar results. Without going into details to my assignor, I requested that he not pair me with that person again. I figure if the coach reported him, my request would back up coach without me having to say anything.

I think this is a great way of dealing with the situation. I just can't bring myself to say anything bad about another official, I feel that the possible ramifications are too great a risk. People talk, and eventually even if you meant good with your statement, your words may be twisted and it might come back to bite you.
In the situation I would've explained that the coach is allowed to stand in that situation to the official, maybe he just misunderstood the rule, or he might have had a bad day and was taking it out on whomever was closest (I know we've all done this as some point or other
) If it's a one time thing address it and move on, if it's recurring then it's turned into a problem and it must be dealt with.
