Talking to Refs, Part 1

[Dan_ref]

Easy. I'll answer any reasonable question, but maybe not
at the time it's asked. If it's a weird play or situation
I'll go over & talk to you immediately or at the next dead
ball, unless it's a timeout when I'll wait for you to be
done with your team, unless you want to waste your TO talking to me. I don't really have a problem talking to you
during your TO, some guys do, but when the first horn goes
off the conversation is done, and I mean done. If you've
been chipping all game (and one! That's a walk!), I'm
probably not going to give you the time of day. I'll talk
to you until you start repeating yourself or until you
start talking about something that happened last quarter.
If I go over to talk to you I might let you vent a little
if I think you deserve it, but otherwise be nice. I don't
have to talk to you at all so act like you appreciate it,
I'll remember it if you don't (and also if you do). Oh
yeah, none of this applies to assistants except in very
rare instances and he had better be extra nice.
