what relatioship do official's have with assistant coaches before and during the game

[Brian Watson]

During a game I had a veteran official tell an Asst. coach that he would only talk to Batman, and not Robin. I would almost classify this as a davism.

I thought this to be funny, but all seriously, the #2 should be seen and not heard (unless you pitch the head coach, and then...well then he should still be quiet because your in T mode).

I have started to notice at some of the lower levels both coaches up at the same time coaching and/or barking at officials. I have very short lease on this.
