I'd be far more inclined to do this for a first year official struggling to realize what's acceptable and what's not than for a 5th year guy who truly needs to find his whistle.

Coach has already shown he doesn't respect your partner, so it's time to force the behavior to change. If I have to take care of the benches myself so my partner can focus on the court, no biggie.
