They didn't interfere with their shooting, but they were on that end of the court, albeit briefly. My partner walked up to the coach and said, "That's a violation. You have to stay on your end of the court. But I'll give you a warning this time." Was he wrong?

Well his terminology may have been imprecise. It is not a violation, but it may well be a technical foul depending upon your state's guidelines. A couple of years ago the NFHS put out a POE on pregame warmups and stressed that no unsporting acts were to be allowed. They gave examples of teams running through the opponents warmup drills. The NFHS itself did not write any regulations to govern this rather that body left it up to each individual state association to make guidelines. So you need to find out what is the procedure in your state.
