Who said the coach was irate? I thought the problem was the AC standing. Not that the AC or HC was being irate. That's a different story. Telling an official to do something against there partner is bad advice and creates a situation can that turn ugly for the officials. Best to walk away from that and uphold the integrity of officiating then to challenge your partner in public. And like I said, never, ever work with this person again.
Here's my advice Deecee, if you told the AC he can't stand and your partner said he could. Let him stand, leave that issue along for the rest of the day. If the AC says one word to you that you don't like. Give him the technical foul signal, and tell both of them they must remain seated now. Partners comes over and says it's okay for them to stand. Fine, no problem. Now, if they say another word to you or get in your way. Technical and you now must leave the gym. Notice how I did not give them a technical for standing. There is more than one way to skin a cat. I bet you got there attention now, and I bet the remaining coach sits down.
I still think the assigner needs to know that this guy, unknowingly, doesn't know the rules, and he needs to be told. It is a way of learning for some of us hard heads. You can't tell them because they want listen to you, but the assigner can.

If you were assigned a Championship game because you did not get along with one person, than you are not as smart as I give you credit for.

If you go back and read this statement, you need to be questioning your own intelligence. There are some people, about a hand full, I refuse to work with. Now, when I get called for an assignment, my answer now is always, it depends on who I'm working with. I get enough assignments now where I can do this. This wasn't the case a few years ago. I have worked hard and put myself in a position where I can now control when I work and who I work with.
