You do not need to go out of your way to handle a coach, but when you have a minute (especially in 3 Person games) you need to always pay close attention to things the coach is saying. Not that you comment every time they say something, but be aware when things are getting out of hand. If you do this, you know when the top is about to blow off. If you see that the top is about to blow, you can take it "off the stove" if you will. Despite what many say, that is what is going to save you. How you handle coaches and players can and will make or break your career. Because you might have a great game, and all will be remembered is that you gave a T. Especially when you could have prevented it. I am sure the clinician wanted someone to calm the coach down or warn the coach about crossing a line.
Just my thoughts.
Peace
