It's only a problem when someone is ACTUAL friends - the kind you go have a beer with.
C'mon....many of us are on are probably on beer drinking terms with coaches. In JO ASA I am friends with at least 25% of the coaches....(maybe more)...and many of them on beer drinking terms.

I have even umpired some of my daughters games......not by choice.

I once red carded one of my best friends in a soccer match.......

I could not officiate HS in Galveston or Brazoria County for awhile due to conflicts.....and I went along with that.

I did my HS officiating in another State for a bit.....but now may be making my permanent home back to Texas.
