another angle

Another reason that we depart the court so quickly is because of a basic philosophy in officiating. We are there to manage the game and its participants. When the game is finished, we need to disappear. We have no reason to be there.

As far as getting things taken care of before the game ends, that is a result of good communication between the table and the officiating crew. This is a positive, not a negative.

You posed a good question. From the answers you get here and some on-court experience, I'm sure you'll get the point about leaving the playing confines as soon as possible. Good luck.
