I agree completely - I would have done the same in this situation. Direct T to assistant, indirect T to HC, & now they both get to sit the rest of the game. My tolerance window would also get extremely narrow - next inappropriate word or action by the AC earns him an early exit & the HC his 2nd indirect T.

If the AC's conduct hasn't quite stepped across the line yet, then you can often nip it in the bud with a calm but firm "coach, you need to get your bench under control" to the HC at the first opportunity.
