Honestly it really depends on who I am working with and what type of game it is we are working. If I am working with very seasoned veterans (college, playoff and state final officials as an example), I will not talk about that much if we are working a HS varsity game. I am not going to go over where to stand and what to do on very basic situations. What I will likely talk about are things about the coaches, teams, style of play, consistency, giving help, last second shot. And if I have worked with my partners before or several times in a short period of time, we discuss even less.

The only time I try to go over a laundry list of issues is when I am working with much newer officials or when we have a lot of time to go over things. Usually post-season games or when I drive with people and tournaments I might go over much more. Sometimes I will go over more with someone I have never worked with and I do not know much about them. More and more I know most officials on some level so I will not boar them with "after timeouts we stand on the blocks" type of stuff.

Peace
