I respect your opinion, but it's a habit...I was raised to call everyone sir or maam...my family is pretty traditional. Sometimes, depending on the coach, I feel calling them sir/maam can defuse a situation. But then again, it could give "big head Todd" another dose of helium for his huge ego...just gotta read the situation.
That being said, if I know both coaches, and they know me, AND the call me by my name, I'll call them by their name.
