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.
Pretty much what happens in the games I am involved with are exchanges like:"Are you seeing anything out there? " or "Anything you see I can be working on?" I always ask about going in at half. And most officials on my board get along with everyone else.
