Assuming you have a two-man crew, officials are supposed to switch lead and trail duties after every foul. Granted, in the off-season, and particularly with running clocks, some switches may be skipped to move the game along. However, if crews aren't switching at all, that's a problem.

Pay as I understand it is $30-35 per game where the refs have two to three games twice per week.

That's not bad for off-season, at least around here. Has anybody given some feedback to these officials? I don't know how many times I've personally heard "good job" or "great job," only to wind up with ratings that don't quite match that feel-good feedback.
