The is from the parents perspective...

First time meeting the coach - whether it's in person, in a zoom, on a call, etc.

How do you address them without bucking protocol and/or disrespecting them?

For example: 

The coach's name is: Maury Sickels

When you address him by name, do you say...

"Maury"

"Coach Sickels"

"Mr. Sickels"

Something else?

 

 

Coaches, doctors, dentists, nurses, cops, professors, etc. are among my favorite people. 

All coaches are called coach, all doctors are called doctor, all nurses are called nurse, etc.

No need to overthink it, and no need to worry about remembering everyone's name.  Sir and Ma'am come in handy too.

Unless your player is a LHP throwing 95 - 

then the coach will be perfectly fine with the player calling him at all, and sup’ bruh would be completely acceptable.  

Francis;

Coach"where do I hit in the lineup"? and "can you move in the left field fence"

I was taught growing up that you address people the way they introduce themselves to you.  If he says "Hi, I'm Coach Johnson", I call him Coach Johnson.  If he says "Hi, I'm Paul Johnson", I call him Paul.  JMO.
