Assistant coach

[SMEngmann]

I don't see how a technical wasn't called on the assistant coach. If it was the HC it seems like it's a borderline T. The assistant, who is not allowed to even have a coach's box is out of the box and at the table arguing with a call. That's as automatic as it gets in my book. What if the assistant on the other team did the same thing? I agree with trying to reduce the number of technical fouls, but blatently ignoring a rule about bench decorum is not the way to handle the situation in my opinion. The more officials who let this type of thing go, the harder it becomes to create sportsmanship.
