I did not say anyhting about the assistant complaining.

Also, if the assistant is yelling for the timeout and you recognize that - would you ignore it?

An assistant coach can do no more than a team member on the bench can do. They can stand to spontaneously react to a good play by a member of their team or they can stand to acknowledge a player who just left the game. Other than holding a clipboard, that's the limits of what they can do.

Don't quote me on this but assistant coaches are like children, they are to be seen and not heard.

Nobody tells me what to do.

Sorry, had a Padgett attack.

They are also useful for holding a towel for mopping up a wet spot on the floor.
