College coaches this is mostly their job, so they better know how to speak to officials or be looking for work.
And no one is trying to prove one is more right. I just showing what works for one person, does not necessarily work for another person. IT is not about being right. I have been around enough to see officials do all kinds of things different and get to the same goal with the coach.

I don't believe there is no one way to treat everybody. Whether that's coaches, players, fans, table personnel, etc. Go into the coach's meeting with an open mind, get a reading on the type of person the coach is, and work that way. That may mean being a hard-ass, ignoring them, passing them off to a partner(s), etc.
And you don't have to be like me. I'm just trying to clarify my stance, and that is I don't go into a game wanting to be friends with coaches. I go into a game wanting to figure out the best way to work with one another so the game goes off without any real problems.
