Deal with any unsporting comments from the bench according to your own personal tolerance level whether they're from a head coach or any other bench personnel.
The comments are your problem, not the movement.

Exactly right. I had to shut down an assistant coach in the first 2 minutes of my game last night. The head coach was up coaching and the assistant was loud and obnoxious from the bench. Told him I'd talk to the head guy all night long, but I wasn't going to listen to him from the bench. Considered going through the head coach, but he was probably 10 feet away and it was just easier to deal with the assistant directly.
Final score was something like 80-31. Tough game to work as the winning team had a full court press on for almost the entire game and the losing team started ratcheting up the physicality the more frustrated they got.
