That rule been in for a million years. Every coach in the world knows it that the assistant coaches can't stand. There's no way that any coach waited until this particular time in this particular game to say "Gee, I really don't like this rule".

Why try to "get out" of calling any very well deserved technical foul? Dealing with coaches sureasheck doesn't mean that you're gonna let them crap all over you imo. Nip it! Nip it in the bud!

Having read Adam's responses, and knowing now that it was near the end of the season, that he'd previously warned the head coach, and that the assistant said it with some attitude and clearly showed no signs of complying, yeah it was a righteous T.

But just for uttering the phrase "That's just stupid" without the rest of the context, well that would be a lot less clear. As always, HTBT
