players talking to ref's at the end of time outs

[zm1283]

A partner and I actually had an observer tell us this year to be a little more friendly during games and not to look so serious and to look like we're having fun. I try to engage players like the OP was talking about at the end of timeouts while we're waiting for the other team. The funny thing is that girls are usually more willing to talk to you, and boys look at you like you're an alien a lot of the time.

What is funny is that I have observed the same thing in Basketball but in Soccer the Boys will talk and banter but the Girls are serious and non talkative.
