Dealing with Assistants/Bench Personnel

[Raymond]

To HC: "your assistants do not have the same privileges you have"

To the personnel: "That's enough!"

Personally, I would never use this ... but I once overheard a partner tell the HC, "I'll listen to the organ-grinder, but not your monkeys."

HC laughed for the next 2 minutes straight.

Same response every time the bench chirps:

"Coach, I'll only ask once...please control your bench".

Usually does the trick. I've only whacked a team once in 15 years for bench behavior.
