Exceptions to what? I don't work much AAU basketball, but in my experience obnoxious coaches are not rare.
As for the idea of girding one's loins: I approach every coach the same way, with respect. If I get respect back, then we're good. If not, then I know how to deal with it (ignore, warn, whack, as needed). No special preparation needed.
In my experience, if you go into a game looking for conflict, you can generally find it (and worsen it). Not professional, IMO.
