Uh-huh. Okayyyyy. . .

I tell him ref the game, we'll talk later if he wants.

Have any of you had this experience, and should I do anything different as a spectator?

If he really wanted your input, you could've walked with him to the locker room (or wherever he was resting during halftime) and had the conversation there, away from the fans. If it just wasn't possible to get away from the fans, then I think your answer was appropriate.
