Halftime is for relaxing, going over first half problems, maybe critiquing or beng critiqued by your partners, getting ready for the second half,etc.- but you don't need any other distractions at that time. And neither do your partners. There's a time and a place for input from other parties, and halftime ain't it, imo. [/QUOTE]
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. If an official who is watching the game comes in at halftime, I always welcome them. If they have something that can help us in the second half, that's all the better. I don't consider it a distraction - I consider it one more official's view of how the game is going. We're all better refs from the bleachers than we are on the floor. I like to get input from that vantage point too.
