I cannot imagine a game without us talking about some play afterwards on some level.

I'm not sure how it is in other parts, but often times guys working the JV games are also Varsity Level officials. I never assume when I am working a varsity game the crew that just got done isn't capable of replacing me. I know in some cases, we have JV crews that prefer working the earlier games because it allows them to get home to their families. It's possible that some officials who leave early, can't commit additional time because of other responsibilities.
