Yes, there is NOTHING like talking to assistant coaches. I had one complaining because , after checking a close ball to the line to gain, on their side of the field, it was obvious that the ball was short by about 4 inches. The HC was standing right there looking at the chains and had no complaint about the "short" call.
I started to pickup the ball (about an inch and 1/2) and realized I would leave it there and spot the new ball from the ball boy.
An 'ASSt' coach, from 15 yards away starts screaming "Sure, move it back now..."
Looked at him and he started again. I couldn't resist. "YOU are an ASSISSTANT coach. You are to be seen, perhaps, and NEVER to be heard!"
