Why don't you protect your less experienced partner and not permit the coach to abuse him? After "enough abuse for the crew" the coach doesn't deserve a warning, he deserves a T.

You should certainly not instruct an inexperienced official to tell a coach to stop. That is something which a veteran should do for his newbie partner.
Unfortunately, you still aren't ready to lead a crew.
