I have no problem with coaches or players addressing me in a respectful manner any time I have a chance. But if one coach is calling me by my first name and the other coach doesn't know me from Adam, I tell the "familiar" coach the first chance I get, "hey coach, please call me ref." The old saying goes "perception is reality" and I don't want the other coach to incorrectly think that the "familiar coach" is getting reffed by his best buddy.
