Bad advice? Cause you don't think it's right?
Even if I have never met the coaches, I will know their names before meeting them and will address them by name the entire game. I also introduce myself to the coaches and captains as "Rich" and am thrilled if the coaches use my name.
Definitely a regional thing, but I'm willing to bet at the top levels of the game they use names all the time.
