At any level, YOU, as an official, MUST learn to communicate effectively with coach and players, as well as administrators . . . not to mention co-officials and your table crew.

I have to agree with Smitty . . . WHY would you stop the play to warn a coach, especially an assistant coach who is COACHING! Even if it were the Head Coach, WHY? Next time down the floor, as you go by, courteously remind the head coach that he is the only person allowed to stand during play, and that his/her assistant will need to sit down. And giving him a Technical Foul would have made the situation SO much worse. That is a TOOL you have at your disposal, but just because it is there doesn't mean you need to whip it out every chance you get.
