You ought to consider re-reading what I wrote.

He doesn't get a higher standard because he's a ref. He gets a higher standard because he told me he's a ref (hypothetically). There's only one reason, during a game, to tell me he's a ref; and it's not a good one.

As I said before, if I know he's a ref and he never says it, then the standard is the same as for his coaching behavior. My respect for him as an official is a different story, however.
