Thumbs up

Assistant coaches are made to be seen and not heard. That's my rule.

In most cases, I find that you are best to give the head coach a single chance to deal with it. They may not like you for it later on, but at the time, giving them ONE chance to deal with it makes for great game management.
The head coach will always take the bait and silence the assistant before he loses the box and gets the embarassment that goes with it.

Of course, if there are some times when the immediate whack is what's necessary. But I would suggest that letting the head coach silence the assistant works wonders and saves you the headaches.
