Unhappy

I was asked to work a Rec-League tournament game last night (10yr old boys). League admin asked myself and a fellow H.S. Official to do the Championship games. I have worked with my partner for the last several years on a H.S. Varsity level so we have a great deal of confidence in our abilities together. As we entered the gym, I realized that I knew one of the coaches. He is actually good personal friend. As the game progressed, he continued to ask questions regarding our calls. I replied to him several times in passing that we are calling a good, tight game by the RULES. It became evident that he had little knowledge of the Rules or the Mechanics to enforce them. By the end of the game, he began questioning EVERY call we made. At the end of the game he tells his team that they had to play against 7 people instead of 5. He also said we were dead wrong on most of our calls. I am burdened with whether or not to contact the coach, who I still consider a good friend, now that the game is over and explain to him what a poor example he sets for his kids. As a coach, I am perfectly fine with him acting like an A$$, but as a friend I want to point out that he is infact, acting like an A$$.
