Absolutely not, Luke!!
After four years of IM experience, I can tell you that there is NOTHING worse than having an IM ref/supervisor correcting/critiquing/(more often than not) harassing you during an actual game. (a) The ref not playing is often wrong. (b) The other team thinks they're getting f**ked. (c) The refs on the court end up in the middle and feel like sh*t.
That said, if anything is *really* off in a game you're playing, talk about it well after the game, if it's that important. When you're supervising, hold your comments until timeouts or intermissions, as nothing is worse for a newer ref than getting chewed out in front of 15-20 players.
