Just because you saw the guys talking?
I realize the first thought might not be the best thing on your mind, but there could be other explanations. I know that often times the officials where I live are put in everyone from a locker room to a coach's office. It is not totally uncommon to see a coach in the official's dressing area for a short period of time.

I agree with this - often times we are put into the coach's office and once in a while the coach for the game I'm working will wander in and out. Sometimes the coach will engage in harmless greetings. It's especially bad when I'm telling my partner about something bad that happened the last time I had this team and the coach walks in bahind me.

It sounded as though the whole tone of the meeting between the partner and the coaches was collaborative, and that it went on quite a while. That's a whole different thing from, "congrats on making it to state" "there are some towels in this one" and "have a great game." Besides, it keeps the refs from working together, and that's also not acceptable. Besides, as someone else said, what if the opposing coach walks in and sees this cozy little huddle, and I'm there even just passively observing, it's MY integrity that suffers. I'm not giving that up for anyone.
