But he is absolutely competing with his peer on the other bench. It's difficult to jaw with the opposing coach, but if a player is standing right in front of your bench and giving crap to one of your own players, it would be very easy to say something to that player.
Again, should he speak to the player? Obviously not. But I see no reason to consider it more grievous than a player taunting a player or a coach taunting a coach. It's taunting. Deal with it for what it is, by the rules. We shouldn't insert our own "morality" into the situation, IMHO.
