I've had a couple of ADs (or game manager) actually start talking to me about getting them the ball after the game. My response is always, "If I can grab it in stride, I'll do it." Then, after the game, "Sorry."

Adam...I would definitely spend some precious pre-game time, with "this guy", about hanging around the court after the game is over.
C'mon man...nothing good can come out of lingering around the table after a game. Tell the guy if he wants to interact with the table...do it before or during the game.
Not only all that...but, it hangs his crew out as they "stand around" waiting for this dude. That's why I don't appreciated another official going out on his own and chasing a ball after a game. The rest of the crew is standing there waiting for him to do the ball boys' duty.
Also, I don't like to sprint off the court after a game. A nice little jog or quickly paced walk is sufficient...IMO.
