When I do varsity I do not offer such 'advice' and when I do JV Fresh games I do not solicit such 'advice' from the other crew. In fact, I have not seen anyone do --nor would I expect anyone to attempt to do such. What kind of advice feedback is typically given? Is it necessary to do such?

Not after the game was over, but rather halftime of the JV game. It actually works fairly well, more often than not. The JV game generally starts at 6:00 pm (sometimes at 5:30 if no 4:30 fresh game). So the varsity crew would get there at 6, watch the 1st half, go to the locker room at halftime of the JV game, make some comments/suggestions, then the JV guys head back out and the varsity guys either watch a little of the 3rd qtr before changing or just stay in the locker room to get ready.
Some JV guys, especially those being mentored or wanting to move up, will stay for a half of the varsity game or the whole game - and they're generally welcomed into the locker room at half of that game too - but that's only if they want to do so, it's not expected.
