I'll be Seeing These Guys Tomorrow

[Tim C]

Having been taken to the woodshed for perhaps the final time I do have another question concerning the OP and the video.

As I am a baseball guy first so why would any official allow the intrusion of assistant coaches at all?

My point would be: As an official that worked upper Division High School Basketball in Oregon/Washington and many college games (that's for you Smitty) in my history why wouldn't one of the officials simply take the head coach (I assume that is the guy in the suit) aside and say: "hey, I am going over to talk to the scorer's table, when I return I want all your assistant coaches to be sitting "quietly" on the bench NOT to stand again. If they are not controlled I will take that as a sigh that you cannot control your bench I will call as many technical fouls as necessary until I DO YOUR JOB!"

As I am a member of the staff of High School today magazine we consider any sporting event to be an extension of the classroom. I have never seen seven teaching assistants in a classroom.
