Rev.Ref63:

Earlier this season you watch a game played by Team A where Team B employs a box-in-one defense against A1. Later in the season you officiate a Team A game. Why in the world are you spending so much time with Head Coach A that you can have a discussion about one of his team's previous games.

The first time you should have been talking to Head Coach A was approximately sixty seconds before the start of the game to introduce yourself and ask if his team is properly equipped. Nothing more, nothing less. I am sorry but it is unprofessional on your part to be having a conversation for any reason with either coach before the game.
