First, let's get this out of the way. The guy in your pool is an idiot.

As for the asst. coach, unless everyone in the gym hears him being an a$$, I usually give the coach an opportunity to take care of his asst. If he doesn't, I'll take care of him the next time he opens his yap.

I've stuck one asst. this year. Two players were going for the ball and her girl went down hard. Contact was incidental, no foul. She jumped off the bench and yelled for a foul. Easy WHACK!

In any case, handle it. Do not let an asst. run his mouth at you.

I've only had to ring up one assistant. They're star player traveled right before making a transition shot. I called the travel, and they thought at first I was calling a foul. Both coaches stood up and yelled at me for calling the travel. Easy T. Things went much smoother after that.
