Assistants do not have the same privileges as head coaches. Period.
Head coach gets one warning about his bench if it's just chatter: "Coach, I'm listening to you, but I'm not listening to your bench." That almost always solves the issue. If I hear anything else, head coach is seatbelted for the rest of the game and I bet he never lets his assistants say another word.
An assistant jumping off the bench or yelling about something is pretty much an automatic T for me. Head coaches should know that their assistants are not allowed to act like that.
I will talk to a respectful assistant during a timeout. During game action, not a chance.
