How Would You Have Handled This?

As we go up the floor away from their bench I tell her to sit down. She couldn't have sat down any faster if you paid her.

At a time out, she comes up to me and asks me the rule.

Would you have T'd the V bench right there on the spot since the AC was standing? Or did I handle it the way you would have?

Many of these younger (and older) assistant coaches don't know the rules as has been pointed out many times. I am sure that there are some who would advocate a technical foul in this situation. I think you handled the situation correctly. Had the coach been argumentative about your request, I can see a technical, here. In your situation, I think you did just fine.
