It's always Coach last name here or just Coach.
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.
Address them respectfully, but not with their first names.

I call both coaches by their first names and make sure I have them (I grab a program on the way in or look the teams up on the Internet before heading out). BTW, a coach that has never met me that uses my name -- this tells me he took the time to bother getting my name and then remembering it.
I just read Bob Jenkins post and we worked a game together Saturday night where the coaches did this. Never met them, but they knew our names. Cool.
I've not NOT used a first name with a coach in years. We're all adults.
