I think you are taking the comments a little out of context to make a point. I said there are some that do not want to hear their names and the guy in question did not want his name called on a missed rotation. That does not mean you should never use someone's name to communicate. And it certainly does not mean everyone gets upset by this either. Sometimes using someone's name is the only way they can know you are talking to them.

When I have a game with a new partner, or someone I haven't worked with for a while, I ask him/her, in our pre-game if it's okay that I address them by their name, during our game. Sometimes, I get a quisical expression from them, as they've never been asked, before.
If they say they'd rather not, (and I don't recall when that last happened), I address them as "partner", during our game. It really doesn't matter to me. It's just a matter of respect for their preference, and a conversation starter.

I think it's fine and a good thing to use names during the game. Worked with two "Johns" last night, and it was still fine.

First, I don't care what you call me as long as you don't call me late for dinner.
![]() Second, as Billy said in his OP, the officiating crew is the third team on the court (field or diamond) and it is natural and normal for everybody in the crew address each other by first name (exception: MTD, Jr. addresses me as Dad because I am his father, ![]() My question is: How does the official who doesn't want to be addressed by his name, want to be addressed by his partners: Hey you! Kind of non-sensical if you ask me. MTD, Sr. P.S. Actually I prefer to be addressed as Your Greatness, ![]()
