Well, I think that you're completely mis-reading what the vast majority of officials are saying.
You don't treat assistant coaches like
anything. You deal with the head coach only. You can be polite or respond to something from an assistant coach very quickly, but explanations, etc. go to the head coach only. We didn't set up the system that all dealings with the officials should be through the head coach; the NFHS did. It's exactly the same under NCAA rules also. And yes, there also is zero tolerance towards an assistant coach acting in an unsporting manner, as well there should be. Or do you advocate allowing that too?
You're mistaking refusing to allow unsporting conduct from assistant coaches with treating them like dirt imo.
