We generally don't have to answer to our assignors, but they certainly have to answer to their bosses (the AD's).

I am of the opinion that if you're going to blow your whistle and stop the game (live ball) to deal with a coach, it had better be accompanied by a technical foul. If I, as an assignor, saw the game stopped, I'd be asking where the technical was called.
Otherwise, you are baiting the coach into worse behavior, potentially.
