In one of the associations I work for, if you don't act as a professional during your other basketball-related duties (i.e. coaching being the prime example), then they have the right to proceed with disciplinary action. I think they have a terrific system in place for these officials who think they can get away with "working the refs" just because they're part of the system.
But while the game is going on, if your colleague who is coaching is acting like a jerk, then do your job...warn and T like you normally would.
From personal experience, I know that it's tough to act like a bad guy in front of your peers, but if you stand up to crap, then you'll be much more respected for it and you'll leave the game better knowing you called the game the right way. Also, the next time you see that person as a coach, he/she will know they can't get away with their behavior again so it sets you up for a more positive experience.
