			One point on lower level games.  Frequently these are back-to-back style games, there is no place for a ref to go between games, and being within the gym is probably better than steping outside alone and waiting for the next game.  I think in part that it is this dynamic that leads to a comfort level with talking with coaches after a game - you are right there anyway.  But I would agree that you shouldn't go seek the coaches out because that may be asking for trouble.  I know when refs are in the gym between games in the MS leagues I am in, half the coaches will thank them for their time/effort.
