coach addressing ref by first name

[beachbum]

Ok guys.... Wednesday, i get the honor of officiating the same coach in another Mid boys varsity game. he is a friend...or was. How would you handle the situation.

Talk to him before the game or just pretend that nothing happened.

My thoughts are to take on the issue and say...Coach we are friends and if you want to call me by name, thats ok. but it is un sportsman like to loudly challenge all of the plays you don't like, I'm trying hard to do the best i can. if you want to ask a question, coach to official, i will answer them.
