Funny how that happens sometimes

Seriously, there's no reason to put up with this repeatedly from any coach, but especially from an assistant. At the first occurance I'll normally give the HC a chance to fix it - a calm, quiet "Coach, you need to get your bench under control" usually does the trick. If it doesn't, then call the T.

IMHO the reason a lot of this behavior occurs is that collectively, we as officials don't do the best job of setting clear limits and then consistently enforcing them. It doesn't help when they get away with murder one night, then get their feet held to the fire the next. We need to do better.
