Talking to coaches... Part II

One point on lower level games. Frequently these are back-to-back style games, there is no place for a ref to go between games, and being within the gym is probably better than steping outside alone and waiting for the next game. I think in part that it is this dynamic that leads to a comfort level with talking with coaches after a game - you are right there anyway. But I would agree that you shouldn't go seek the coaches out because that may be asking for trouble. I know when refs are in the gym between games in the MS leagues I am in, half the coaches will thank them for their time/effort.

As rook working 3rd - 8th, we have a lot of dbl and triple headers. No where to "RUN" to between games. I usually go behind the scorers table and sit down for a few while people clear out. Sometimes a coach has a ques but most times I try not to draw attention. This has seemed to work well for me. Someday i'll have a locker room to run to!!

I usually dont wish anyone a good game unless they seek me out to do the same.
