I usually ask the V crew if I notice they step out to watch the JV game. I take any and all notes possible. From the smallest to the biggest problems.

Always ask, but never badger. I don't offer advice if not asked. And I don't ask unless I truly want to get advice. Had one official 'offer' 'advice' this season. It was not well received. And my partner, who also does mostly V games, indicated that the official 'offering' the 'advice' had an extremely inflated opinion of herself and that her reputation is well known in that association.
