Depends, BZ (and Rich).
If I'm doing a league where I'm not likely to see people numerous times, "Coach" and "Blue" are fine (and preferred).
If I'm doing a league with just 6 teams, where I'm working 3 nights a week, and see these guys constantly (and at school board meetings, and at other sports, and one coach is a fellow official in another sport... and another coach is the commish of another sport, etc...), sometimes you can't help but be on a first name basis. When that happens, I don't take umbrage if someone happens to call me Mike instead of Blue.
