Over The Back

My assistant coach is a source of ongoing advice to officials - travel, reach, 3 seconds, overtheback, comeonyougottacallthat in games, and I am always amazed when refs take it. I have tried to shut him up, but usually it takes a warning from the official or a simple question (who is the head coach here?) to close his mouth.
Anyhow, he always screams for over the back calls. This weekend when he yelled it out I was going to say that he should at least know that isn't the right call, ask for the push if you are going to ask for something. Before I can say anything, the ref who has blown the whistle yells for all to hear "Over the back!!" We skipped that lesson for the day

Coach, you are in charge of all your bench personnel. Why are you allowing your assistant coach to be "a source of ongoing advice to officials?"
