Dealing with this...
I am a 2nd year official who had a similiar situation last year (about mid-season). My partner, a 17 - year veteran, simply went to the meddling coach and laid it on the line.
(Firmly and directly focused at the meddler) "Coach, you are bench personnel and we (inferring he and I) will call a "T" if there is additional unsportsmanlike disruption."
Second sprint past the bench: (Tweet) Partner whistles a "T" on the "Varsity" Coach. He got the message and left.
Ain't this a whole lot of FUN!
