Just like I hate it when a coach addresses me by first name during a game I believe that goes both ways.

Because if you know the name of one coach, but not the other it could look like a conflict of interest.

That and it just looks like you're too chummy with them.
I agree that if you use call one coach by name and not the other, then it looks bad to the unnamed coach. But if I know both coaches, which happens a lot now that I've been around the HS game for a while, I have no problem calling them by their first names.

I don't like it when a coach calls me by my first name and they've never met me before. But I can't do anything about it either, so I don't let it bother me.

If all three of you know each other from league play, it's silly to pretend that you don't.
