In all of the college games that I have attended I have never seen a college official talk to anyone in the crowd. Just an abservation.
Seriously??? Never?? Not during time-outs? Not during pre-game or half-time warm-ups?? I would have to say that that is hard to believe...there is nothing wrong with talking with fans - as you said, one must be careful about what is said, and it absolutley can not be an adversarial conversation, nor can it detract from doing your job, but never??? Wow... [/B]
No never. It takes a long time and hard work to get to that level. College Officials are vey well paid. They are evaluated by observers for post season assignments etc. It just wouldn't look good if they weren't totally focused on the game. Talking to spectators is not part of the job.
