I agree. No "guests" at halftime (although this has happened to me). Actually, even right after a game is not a good time to listen and absorb feedback. The refs may be emotionally and/or physically drained, possibly psyched up or feeling down. A written (or verbal) evaluation a short time later could be more useful. I'm not sold on this "opinion by committee" method where a group of "peers" bombard the locker room to offer feedback. It probably isn't necessary anyway. Any one who has officiated four years or more, and is qualified to ref a varsity game will already KNOW he had a dismal game (or a great game). If he has no clue either way, he probably shouldn't be doing varsity level games.
