If both coaches should be concerned with their teams instead of the actions of an official than why are you having a minute long conversation with ONE of the coaches? Why doesn't "coaches should be concerned with their teams instead of the actions of an official" apply to the coach trying to engage you in an extended conversation?

And you'll get lambasted by your supervisor for calling the tech. The PERCEPTION to your supervisor and everyone observing the event will be that you baited the coach into saying something inappropriate.

Good luck with your Don Quixote' approach to officiating.
