Fwiw, I agree with that. If you set the bar up front, you can still use a little personal discretion later if an assistant is standing.

My question is whether there was a time earlier when the coaches should have been warned or whacked? If they were that out of line at the end of the game I would guess there may have been an opportunity to take care of business earlier. Don't worry about the "coach" telling you he didn't want you on his games again. There are plenty of other games out there and they are much more fun to work than 6th graders. The first few incidents with a coach will rattle you a little, but it does get easier with experience.

Funny, just had this happen yesterday in a 6th grade travel tourney. Both teams' coaches HC and AC were standing and I respectfully and casually told them only one HC could stand. They both complied. There seems to be a correlation ,the younger the kids, the more coaches want to stand.

Agreed on telling them early.

I was working a highly competetive all-star travel game with the area's top talent ( ) a while back, it was like 7th or 6th grade AAU. Coach asks me if it's ok if his assistant stands because...well because they forgot to put chairs in the gym that morning. I'm impressed, tell him sure, stand all you like, thanks for asking.

2 minutes in assistant is screaming his head off about something, I stopped the game and told HC to control his bench. He says "but you said he could stand!"
