This question gets thrown around from time to time.
I get the coaches names off the Internet (wishoops.net has all the state's teams and schedules and coach names) and I introduce myself that way. Hi Bill, nice to see you.
Before the game, if I'm the U (or U1) I'll ensure the coaches are ready to go: Bill, ready? John, ready?
When I get a timeout request from one coach, I'll turn to the other coach with: "Mike, it's a 30."
I would find it insulting TO be called "coach" if I was a varsity coach and I gave you my name before the game started! I'll remember your names, you can't remember mine?
