Well, I'll ask a player to get it, but they usually do without being asked. I used to cover this in my captain's meeting, but it raised my total captain's meeting time over a minute.
It's not that I don't want to chase loose balls, but I believe my time is better served keeping my eyes on the players.
I also think it looks somewhat undignified having an official chase down a ball while everyone else watches. Of course, I haven't worked anything but varsity games for quite a while, so this probably doesn't apply to the 3rd grade game at the Y on Saturday morning.
