God didn't give me my name, my parents did.
When I officiated, I preferred "blue", "ump", etc., but not by my name. I referred to a coach as "coach", even if we were aquainted. Players were by position or uniform number. THAT is respectful. Calling me by my name is familiarity, and THAT is disrespectful.
