Why should that coach be held to a higher standard because sometimes he's an umpire? During the game, his job is coach. He should feel free to act like any other coach and my methods of dealing with him should be no different than the methods I use when someone else is coaching.

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous.

How about the coach/official that isn't coaching but is simply sitting in the stands watching a game? Do you feel that it's OK for the coach/official to publicly criticize other officials in that setting? Maybe officials that might even be on his own college association?
