I use assistant coaches if they are nice.
...Shake hands with 'em and everything before the game just like they are regular people.
Sometimes they are the only ones looking when I tell 'em, "First horn."
Sometimes I answer their questions during a dead ball walk-by.
Sometimes I ask them to remind the head coach where the box is.

They don't have poison ivy or sumthin', ... do they?
