Name etiquette

What is up with this Southern tradition of calling adults by their first name?   Why is it ok to introduce me to a child as Mr. Scott or Coach Scott?  (btw Scott is my first name)   When I was growing up, I was always taught to call an adult by the proper salutation of Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones, not Mr. John or Mr. Tim.  I find it a bit disrespectful.  Am I wrong?
