It is not their job, although it is a professional courtesy, to tell me when they are done. They may have circumstances that require them to be elsewhere. Even in the instances that the officials do come in, they typically don't know how much time was put on the clock. In most situations the clock & game management just put the minimum of 15 minutes on the clock.
Just like when game mgt says they will come get us at 3 minutes. We are supposed to be on the floor at 3, so I will ask for them to get us at 4. But it is on me/us to be on the floor at 3.
I am responsible for my actions, not the actions of others.

Agree, and I do the same. The only time it can be a problem is if things are way behind schedule and we don't know when our game will start.
If there is a game following ours, I've always made it a point to let those officials know ours is done and how much, if any time was put on the clock, although usually they haven't gotten that far by the time we're out of the court area. At least it gives them a frame of reference.
