Well the rest of the game I didn't hear a male voice and the female voice disipated also.

This would not be the recommended way to warn a bench. You may need to work on your coach/referee communication skills.

"Coach, I don't mind answering questions from you; but your bench is about to cost you your coaching box."

I think Juulie said it all. Coaches are off limits even to "mind games".

Because coaches have no minds, .

Of course not, just like the Grand Canyon, she was nice to look at.

Then it's not nearly as bad as it looked at first; I still would have worded it differently.

The thing to remember is that every time we open our mouths, we potentially give a coach ammunition to use against us. In this case, the coach could use these comments against the official in a call/letter to the assignor - even if the official called a fantastic game, he/she just opened the door to a complaint that the assignor cannot defend. There are better ways to handle the bench decorum issues that will not give a coach that kind of ammunition. Hopefully nothing comes back to bite this official in the butt.
