You're not doing them a favor by working a game, you're getting paid for it. Buy your own water, or drink from a fountain. If on the other hand, you're volunteering, than please accept my apology.
BTW, I serve as game management for a CYO program in NY, and I always provide bottled water for the officials because I want to provide a friendly atmosphere for the officials, and as you point out, it's a small enough thing to do. I want the officials to look forward to working at our school and not look at it as a chore. It's to atone for some of the nutty parents and coaches we've had in the past.
But you can't imagine how many visiting coaches use the same line, "Trying to buy the refs?", when they notice this. Is the dollar you save worth this?

We are just going to have to agree to disagree on this. There wasn't a fountain anywhere near our changing room and I don't think it would be strange for me to head up to the concession stand in between games for a bottle of water.
If visiting coaches tell you that line, that's completely absurd.
I respect your opinion and it's nice to hear a perspective from the other side, I just don't happen to agree with it.
