With that said...Does anyone else think it was a problem that they had a conversation with the coach prior to the game? How would the coach of the opposing team react if he saw the game officials having a discussion with his counterpart, prior to the game...in the stands?
Thanks,

Jake,
I don't see any sign of impropriety.
We go to say "Hello", introduce ourselves and if the Coaches initiate the conversation, we cannot very well turn our backs on them before they are done.
If they have a question, we answer, but we keep it polite and brief.
Similarly, when a fan stops to say something during warm-ups,... polite and brief.
