Try not to view it as 'hostile" but "competitive".. I find if I change my wording - it really does help.
Perhaps its more competitive at varsity level as opposed to more of learning the game at lower levels.
I try to think of "expressive" coach's as being very competitive. Easier to prepare for and deal with.
Now when s/he is in my partners or my face ranting we are the worst officiating crew ever - and cheating their team, etc - it went hostile and I got a little hand signal to fix that.
