Another friend of mine who is in the D-League says we shouldn't even say anything to them about remaining seated. In his opinion, they should know the rule.

Point is, if a coach's behavior has earned him or her a T, 1) there shoudn't be any "managing" necessary and 2) an official shouldn't go over there and give the coach a shoulder to cry on. No, you (the coach) did what you did, my partner thought it was worthy of a T and since my partner is part of my team I'm not going to do anything that could possibly perceived as undermining him or her (my partner). This is along the lines of explaining one of my partners' calls. I'm just not going to do it.
I'm perfectly okay with that approach because, as you and others have said, the main point is to pre-game this scenario so your partners know what you want each other to do. The last thing you want during the administration of a T is for the crew to look confused.
This also may be a check your local listings situation, as the way I stated earlier is the one our local leadership has recommended, so I'm going to abide by their wishes.
