What's you opinion on a coach who you know is a ref but doesn't bring it up?

Yep, and I was just elaborating a bit.
Good question. I'll treat him the same. I may come away with more or less respect for him as an official based on his performance, but I'll treat him as if he's not an official for the duration of that game.

Fair enough, I can live with simply disagreeing. If he says that loud enough to be heard across the gym, easy T. If only I hear it (not likely if he's walking away from me as in the OP), then I ignore. In between, it'll be at least a warning and maybe a T.
