Peace

Noting that the bench area defined for timeouts (as BillyMac cited), while not going all the way to center court, is fairly large.

When I saw the thread title, I was thinking more along the lines of:

1. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may result in a technical foul...
2. You have the right to have an assistant present...but anything he says may result in him (and you indirectly) receiving a technical foul....

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I couldn't resist

We now return you to the original topic......

I'm not keen on the 'senior' official stopping the 'younger' from doing his job. Now one of the 'whistles' has been belittled in public.
Save that for the locker room.

How did the senior official stop the younger guy from doing anything? And how/when did the junior guy get belittled in public?

According to the OP, the senior official only had a quiet talk with the young guy "in a teaching way" during the TO. That's called "training".

Re-read the OP.

I've had this done to me and I've done it to other officials ... I don't think it's at all belittling if done correctly.
