The thing to remember is perception...perception can help you or blow you out of the water in this business. It doesn't even need to be a coach who sees you talking to another coach - it can be a parent, student, AD...anyone... put yourself in the position of one of the other teams. They see you chatting and yucking up a storm with a coach who they end up playing the next day - and you are calling the game. First close call that goes "in favor of" the other coach - they knew it was going to be this way! You're buddies with that guy!! And, as the game progresses, it only gets worse...during the season, I am polite but not familiar with coaches...during the off-season, I am polite but not familiar with coaches...
