APG and BNR had the best answers.
How often do you have to deal with a coach that was a vocal spectator at a previous game? (That was actually memorable or that action had to be taken concerning that coach)

Though of course I would never engage in that type of conversation now, my last sentence is still the philosophy I work under. I once had a custodian who was standing at one endline (where there were no bleachers) constantly making disparaging comments. So I finally addressed him and told him "Either you're working or you're a fan; if you are going to talk to me like a fan then you need to go sit with them, but you're not going to stand here and keep making comments to me"

A few years ago, I had a similar situation. Finally, my partner said to the custodian, "Why don't you go and mop something?" I thought it was pretty funny.

here's something to mop
Several years ago leaving a game a custodian with mop and bucket was coming down the hall outside the gym. As he approached and passed us he made a comment regarding how horrible we officiated the game. I thanked him politely but I can't tell you how badly I wanted that soft drink I was carrying to "slip" from my hand.

Sounds like a perfect time to use the retort I've used for over 20 years: "Coming from a real expert like you, that means a lot."

Well that's fine but mine is more thorough.

I was not discrediting your answer.
If only it was really that easy.

One reason why I asked how to deal with a overly vocal spectator that is known to be a coach is cause of knowing a person that fits the description. (Watches HS games, but is a JH/MS coach)
Let's just say all the officials that do the games he watches, are very thick skinned as the gentleman in question complains about, almost, every non-call loud enough for the whole gym to hear.

Agreed. So, I'd treat him the same as I'd treat any other spectator acting that way. chseagle -- are you saying that the officials treat him differently? OR, that you'd expect better, given that you know he's a coach?
