You don't want to ask me how you've done in one of my games. Responses could vary all over the place, from a patronizing you did great (don't want to make an enemy of the refs no do we?) to a litany of what you missed. We all coach this game with biases, and these will often come out when you ask that type of question.
Now on the other hand, I will give feedback to refs that I think do a good job based on what I see that I like in how they run a game, if the opportunity presents itself. I don't give negative feedback, because my experience is that refs don't want to hear it from a coach. I am not going to do psychology experiments to see who will and will not listen. And they are right to take my words with a grain of salt as a very biased participant in a competition.
