Sometimes we officials don't help our cause by the way we deal with assistant coaches. I try to treat all coaches with much respect. That doesn't mean the asst. has the latitude as the Head Coach. Having said this, I do agree this is not ncaa ball, so I would not want to hear much from the asst.

I will admit to forgetting about the sub, but as my partner is getting ready to inbound the ball, the assistant stands up and YELLS "SUUUUUBBBBBB!" I mean YELLS!!!!!!

Ok you forgot, but the asst. reminded you. why couldn't you just blow the whistle, bring in the subs, turn to the asst. and say "thanks coach".

As we head the other way, assistant starts shaking his head and says out-loud, "that's unbelievable!" I'd had enough."Tweet" Wack!

Good job.

Of course they don't like it. I get away from the benches and stand at midcourt while my partner administers free throws. I then hear the assistant "clapping" his hands and saying "good job" in my general direction. I glance to make sure what's going on. He make eye contact with me and again
claps and makes snide comments. "tweet" wack! Toss!
Assistant is now gone.

Good job.

Last thought, You might see some assistant coaches as Head coaches someday.
