Let me say that veterans like that are not the majority.

The ones I'm speaking of don't "back off", they are generally off-putting and short to begin with. Don't want to pregame much, won't communicate on the court, etc. Most of them are good officials, they just aren't interested in giving the time of day to someone who isn't one of their buddies. I'm not saying that most veterans are like that, quite the opposite actually, but they do exist.
