Especially when I first started, but still on the occasions when I work sub-varsity contests, I made/make every effort to watch at least a portion of the varsity contest. Where I sit/stand depends on the logistics in the gym. I like to be near a game administrator (as you were), just in case something happens like what happens to you.
I think you were wise not to engage him. Others here will probably come up with clever and witty things to say, but I think there's nothing to gain other than making yourself feel clever and witty. Not worth it to me. If there *is* anything to say, I agree that something simple like: "I did my best. I'd have no objection to your becoming an official if you can do it better. You can register at ..." Still, I think silence is the best answer. My $.02.
