Don't assume that an official (of any sport) will conduct himself in a more gentlemanly manner than any other coach.
Fellow umpires/referees generally behave the worst, sometimes including despicable attitude. Although you may expect them to take the high road and set a good example, it is not a given just because they are officials. A real good guy, and an excellent official can become a different animal with the coaching hat on. Resist the pre-game "nice-nice buddy talk, we're all in this together" routine. Your partner is your ONLY friend there.
