I am going to agree with Rockyroad on this. The explanation given in the original post was fine. He was just trying to communicate and give a coach a better understanding of what took place. The coach didn't like the statement and stepped over the line. He was penalized accordingly. Fine.

Asst coaches sometimes say things that cause problems during the course of a game. They also have an interest in the outcome and can react (appropriately) to plays.

I have used asst coaches to help in some situations. In my area there is a coach in particular that for some reason he and I have a hard time working with each other. If he and I are having trouble communicating, I will say a couple of words to the asst to be relayed and that helps in most situations. An asst coach can be an asset if used properly, so why not take advantage of them.
