As long as you know that you gave the kids a good game and that they knew you were doing your job, you are fine. If you joke a bit too much with the fans, it can leave the wrong impression. Sounds like sour grapes, but worth reflecting on to think if you could have left the wrong impression.
We see a lot of the same refs when we play leagues hosted by our club and tourneys hosted by our club, etc. I am on very good terms with them, as are many of my parents, who work tables (we ran two tables for 8 hours a day in fall league). Even my players have gotten to know the refs well. So even in 9th grade girls AAU ball, you will see some chuckles and some (very limited) interaction with the crowd. And the refs that do so are also very clearly focused on the game when the game is on.
