I know you can really late to this conversation. I do not need to re-post them, but I said previously in this very thread that I do not allow players to call me by my first name and
coaches can because they are adults. All you have to do is look back in this thread and that will be understood. I get why you were confused in the comments you quoted if you did not read any other comments, but if that is something you want to debate what I meant, then you will have to do that by yourself. Hope that clears it up for you.

I am not out there to be personal, I am out there to be professional. If you want a personal relationship that is your right, but not my objective when I work any game. And as I said before (if you paid attention), I do not know all coaches that well. You can go to the same school every other year and there is a new coach. I am not great with names unless I have seen you or had extensive conversations with you and that almost never happens with coaches. So I want to call them by their title. They did after all earn that.
Like I said before, do you. If it works for you I still will do what works for me.
Peace
