This issue was actually addressed by our board this past season. Ref's from either the preceeding or subsequent game, coming into the locker room at halftime and making unsolicited comments. I will not enter the halftime locker room unless invited or, if I have a cordial relationship with all members of the crew, I may ask to come in, but I refrain any basketball related discussions. I sit and listen and once discussions turn to general bulls**t, then I join in. If it's a JV crew and BOTH members are officials whom I am 'cool with' (for lack of a better phrase) I may ask about a specific play. But locker room at halftime is the safe haven for the WORKING crew and they shouldn't be subjected to any outside influences.
