The first time I hear it, if I'm by the bench, I'll joke and say, "if you're calling it, I don't need to". If that doesn't work, I'll warn the coach that if I hear anymore reffing from the bench his view of the game will be impaired. Strike three is a bench technical. I make sure that my partner knows we are at strike two. This specific behavior is addressed in my pregame so that my partner and I are on the same page; as I too have noticed more chirping this year from Asst Coaches.
I am very intolerant of Asst Coaches. They're like my kids. They should be seen and not heard.
