I don't particularly like it when the coaches call me "John". I know there is no doubt who they are talking to. But, there's nothing we can do about it and, in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal. In our state our association is contracted directly by the schools so we will see the same coaches multiple times a year. Also, as a board member I would often have off court contact with the coaches to work payments and schedule changes, etc, so I tend to know them. Since the entire state works this way, visiting coaches know that home coaches know most of the officials who work in their gyms.
The question I have is, do any of you as officials, address the coaches you work for by their first names? Do you do this only if you know both coach's names?
