I think there's a difference between being friends with a coach, and being friendly with a coach. As Steve pointed out earlier, NCAA wants the latter, not the former. I personally believe that mindset should trickle down to NFHS, and even ASA to a point.
Because where I live all of the kids are in the same school starting in 5th grade. My kids range five years from oldest to youngest and so that includes a large range of people I might be acquainted with or possibly even grew up with. I also coached all three daughters in softball and soccer and got to be friends with other coaches in the area.

I don't think I ever had an issue officiating in my area due to friendships.
