Exactly. The moment we stop refereeing the game for the kids, because we become afraid that the other coach will hear us doing it, that is the moment to hang up the whistle and walk away.

Now, when a coach asks me to stop talking to HIS players and just call the violation or foul, that I will oblige. I've had that happen a couple of times.
