amazed as to the lack of warning and the mild "complaining" that resulted in a T to the bench, then the coach, I have seen the gamut of relatively bizzare games, calls, fans and fools. this was so mild !

I can say this, I know a lot of refs who would have made this call without warning. Assistant coaches are to coach. Rule 10 prohibits any attempt to influence an official's decision. Most officials give quite a bit of leeway to a head coach. Most also do not accept any crap from an assistant. Even further, a lot of officials have absolutely zero tolerance below the high school varsity level. Assistant coaches speak up at their own risk.

This was mild. BTW, it looks like the only part of the post that you needed clarification was whether or not an assistant coach should be tossed after just on technical foul. The answer is no, unless it was flagrant.

Question. How does being able to approach an official make coaching easier? Coach the kids, don't worry about coaching the refs.

I've readh these "guidelines" a hundred times, and it doesn't get any more authoritative. They're guidelines, and they work for some and not for others. They're definitely nothing to get all hung up over.

What call did they blow? Looks to me like they blew two things.
1. They shouldn't have ejected an assistant for 1 technical foul.
2. If they did eject that assistant, they should have ensured he left the gym rather than go to stands.
Curious, what level of ball is this that they call in someone to be an assistant in a championship game?
