Holding the ball from play until the teams are ready after a time-out is not interjecting yourself into the coaching arena. It's actually part of our job. From your description, your partner did not stop play; he prevented play from being started. This is an important distinction. Finally, I don't have an issue with the coach asking what I'm doing provided he's civil in doing so. The answer he is also easy "No, coach the ball is not ready for play."
