[JRutledge]

By kids I want to be addressed as Mr. Rutledge or Sir. I was raised to always refer to adults as Mr. or Miss or Mrs. I am almost 30 and I still refer to people that were adults as Mr. or Mrs. depending on who they are. I just do not feel that having basically children refer to me by my first name.

By coaches, it depends. If I am doing a game with two coaches that I know very well, I do not mind so much by them calling me by my first name. I might do the same with them in those cases. But if I have a coach I do not know very well and I coach I know very well, I will refer to both coaches as "coach."

Let me say this, it really does not matter if the coaches show me some respect. If they want to use my first name, it is really not going to be a big deal to me. I am not going to make a point to have a coach refer me as a specific name just to get respect.
