I work alot of offseason basketball and I think every assignor would want to know if someone was totally actin a fool. The person running that tournament is probably doing so to make money and the coaches/players/parents are his customers. If they are not happy, they won't be back for the next one. If the tournament director gets to many complaints about the officials, he'll look for someone else to assign his next tournament. IMO, those customers are looking for a competitive, well organized, well officiated tournament. We're an important part of that 3 legged stool.

Possibly, a well worded question during timeouts would keep him there talking officiating philosophies rather that shooting baskets or arguing with fanboy. Could also lead into converstions about areas of concern with him like what his thoughts are on coverage areas, rebounding action, etc.

I'm probably not rippin someone a new one in front of everyone unless I'm truly hoping to finish by myself.
