Well let's see. Several of us actually work varsity basketball. Several of us work (or have worked) in associations where we are asked to view the officials working a JV game before your game.
Let's see:
When you get the gym and tell the AD you are in attendance so he does not have to worry, he/she will see you.
When you go to the locker room from the the stands to dress (whatever your personal timing is to prepare).
Players amy also see you enter a dressing area.
I think you should re-think your statement.
Many, many officials are seen by many, many people.
Oh yes, I forgot one more thing:
In preparing for a game many like to start at home packing their bag, this carries over into the professionism of wearing correct "regular" clothes.
I think you popped-off a little quickly.

"Several of us" up there on your pedestal, "actually work VARSITY games." Oh my gosh. Excuse me. Maybe because I don't have a thousand posts don't ASSUME (....of you and me) I don't work Varsity games.
I work Varsity games. And can you believe it, I am actually working tournament games!!!!!!
There may be a difference in your sitch and mine. I usually do 2 Varsity games a night, girl/boy so we are there BEFORE anyone else and we don't have to sit in the stands and wait for the "dreaded" JV game to get done. But I don't think it would make a difference what I would wear.
Let's just say I don't show up in a tank top and cut off jeans. I wear what I wear to work, Dockers and a collared shirt.
I am sure the AD is more interested that you are at the game, rather than what you are wearing. Who do you think let's us in our locker room?
My Uni is on a hanger with my officials jacket over the top, and I carry a bag with my essentials in it.
And as far as my "professionism" as you put it, or "professionalism" as I would put it, doesn't matter if I am wearing my correct "regular" clothes I always make sure I am being as professional as possible.
Tim, I have re-thought my statement and I have not changed my mind. I hope I didn't "pop-off" too bad this time.
