Head coach A speaks up quickly. "Whoa, that guy is not a coach. He is not a part of or in any way affiliated with our team.
Then what?

This actually happened to me in a aau/travel league setting a while ago.
Right off the tip guy sitting on the end of the bench was chirping. After a few minutes I had enough and T'ed him. Head coach and assistant both jump up asking who's the T on. I point to the victim, they say "he's not a coach, he's the BUS DRIVER!!"
I laugh, the bus driver laughs, the coaches scream at him to get off the bench up into the stands and keep his damn mouth shut. They finally smile and say it won't happen again. The other coach asked what happened, I told him I T'ed the bus driver by mistake. He laughed and we played on.
No biggie.
