8. If an assistant is out of line then you can speak to the head coach ask them to help you out.
I don't agree with these three;

4) I don't believe in running away from confrontations. Handle the situations when they arise; don't run away from them.

7) It depends solely on what the coach actually says, same as if he was standing. Abuse is abuse, no matter what position it comes from, and it shouldn't be ignored simply because it is quiet and comes from a sitting coach.

8) Asking a coach to "help you out" is patently ridiculous too imo. Coaches couldn't really give a damn less whether they're helping us out or not. If you want to tell the coach the truth, that his assistant is gonna cost him, that's OK. The other way though, you're just running away from your own responsibility to keep the the benches under control.
