First, I don't care what you call me as long as you don't call me late for dinner. 
Second, as Billy said in his OP, the officiating crew is the third team on the court (field or diamond) and it is natural and normal for everybody in the crew address each other by first name (exception: MTD, Jr. addresses me as Dad because I am his father, ).
My question is: How does the official who doesn't want to be addressed by his name, want to be addressed by his partners: Hey you!
Kind of non-sensical if you ask me.
MTD, Sr.
P.S. Actually I prefer to be addressed as Your Greatness, .
