I mostly go by Coach B. Sometimes Coach Butler. That's fine either way. No way is it a first name or even just a last name.
A few years ago, I had a talk with a young coach. He called me by my first name and that was fine. We were adults. However, I called him Coach xxxxx. He wanted to know why I called him Coach xxxx. I told him that I view the title of coach with deep respect. So, in calling him Coach xxxx, I was showing a lot of respect. I then tried to talk to him about the fraternity of coaching. What we do for our players is much more than just the game. I hope all of you respect the title of "Coach." It isn't something we should take lightly.
