Someone once told me to "deal with the organ grinder, not the monkey."
If an assistant coach starts to cross the line, I will tell the head coach, "Coach, control your bench." That's always worked before for me.
Overall, I'm okay with civil questions from an AC. Yesterday, A team had used up it's last time out, and the assistant coach was facing me while the head coach was busy instructing. The assistant coach made it clear they knew it was their last time out, so I saw no need to interrupt the head coach to inform them of something they already knew.
