Coaches, players and fans do not care what you did or about to do. They only care about their game. If you look like their game is not important, they might anaylze things you did and claim you were either tired or that you were trying to get out of there to work another game. Which is the main reason I get dressed at the school and leave in clothes other than what I officiated in.

Obviously you missed the point. Of course we all do this, but they also know people that will not call fouls, will not go through procedures and just take "their" game off because they have somewhere else to go or they are tired. Just like I do not talk about where I was last night with coaches or players, I am not going to tell them where I am about to go. And in some places, levels or conferences you cannot work a game before their game or you might be fired. That does not just apply to my area for the record.
