When I'm the R and talking to the coaches, I go, identify who the head coach is, tell him/her how I expect him to be the only one standing, the only one that may address the officials if done so in a respectful manner, how he's the only one that can call time outs from the bench and to give us a clear indication of a 30 or 60 second time out. Then I ask him if his team is properly equipped, and if he's got any questions. Then I invite him to the captains conference, and move onto the other teams coach, or back to my warmup position.
