If a coach is respectful to me, he'll get courteous service.

If a coach is constantly whining about "missed calls" for the first two minutes of the game (traveling, 3-in-the-key, the typical ignorance), the "you coach, we ref" comment might be what he needs. More likely I'll say, "is there a question in there coach?," but sometimes the "parental voice" is necessary.

Agreed Z. I get to that point when he's crying about every play that he perceives to be an infraction. When he has that type of attitude, I'm not real interested in being nice.
