If your name is indeed "Coach" is that how you introduced yourself at the plate meeting? Why would you even give your first name at introductions if you didn't want to be called that? I introduce myself as Ryan at the plate meeting when I work and actually would prefer coaches to refer to myslef by it; rather than "Hey blue" or "Ump." Maybe this is a personal opinion not widely agreed upon by other officials, but I find it more respectful if a coach takes the time to care who I am. Also, in return, I attempt to remember the coaches names and will refer to them by that. JMO. How do other officials feel about this?
