Here's the situation: Team A is mopping up the floor with Team B. Even the 3rd string of Team A is outscoring the 1st string of Team B. Team A is still pressing full court at 35 points ahead. Even Team A fans are unhappy with it. (I wasn't reffing, just watching, and I could hear the Team A fans behind me). Finally, in frustration, Team B coach stands up and yells down the table, "Hey (name of coach A), I'm glad your team is finally learning how to press". Refs (who were very good and I'm not questioning the no-call) ignored it, although at least one heard it. Okay, I figure, this much must be okay. When it is not okay for one coach to address the other?

Jewel,
Agreeing with Big Dave, I would put a stop to that interplay when it became a distraction/focus.
I would go to the instigator and ask him to concentrate on his own team.
