That's why I get ridden by coaches more when I'm the ref than when I'm the ump, even when I said nothing to the coach about our assigned duties.

They can tell who is in charge by how they present themselves on the court, not by who throws up the opening jump or who conducts the captain's meeting.
I've been at this more than 20 years and I have never once used "I am the referee" for anything on the court. Maybe someone else here has a different experience.
