Let's go already

I have read "Get In, Get Done, and Get Out" (I like this statement) on this forum as part of someone's signature. That quote leads me to my thought/question. Most partners I work with want to retrieve the ball after the game and give it back to the home coach or the table personel. I do not like this. Even if we didn't have any trouble in the game, I want to head for the locker room. Is this considered rude or impolite? We tell the team captains to have their teams track down the ball if it gets away during the game. Why should we have to get the ball after the game?
