I do the same thing when interacting with a player that isn't a captain. The first time I have a problem with the assistant, the head coach will hear about it.

That's at least what I got out of that statement.
How you handle an assistant is up to you IMO. A lot of officials do not want to deal with assistance and I understand why. Often they think they need to ask a question every time something happens and that gets annoying. But to be real the rules gives certain responsibilities to the head coach or by rule "coach." It is up to you how you want to deal with them. No right or wrong either way from my point of view.
