From the NASO website:

ARTICLE II
Sports officials recognize that anything which may lead to a conflict of interest, either real or apparent, must be avoided. Gifts, favors, special treatment, privileges, employment or a personal relationship with a school or team which can compromise the perceived impartiality of officiating must be avoided.

I can see where chatting with an opposing coach before the game may be considered as compromising my impartiality. A word to the wise is sufficient.
