I would not fault another official who made the call, and would back his or her play if it was called.
I see this as similar to the coach who comes out onto the court to get our attention to request a TO. By rule, it's a T that could be called. I just don't think it fits the intent of the rule.
Now, if the coach actually interferes in any way with the play I'd call it without hesitation.
