Exactly. You can't quote silence.

Sometimes we have to be an amoeba too and adapt to our environment. True, you cannot get yourself in trouble by saying things often, but you might not get a point across if you say nothing either. This is where experience comes into play to know what to do and what to say and what not to say.

I would agree if there's an issue that needs to be handled/addressed or a question to be answered; otherwise, probably best not to speak.

Take care of the bidness!

With many years of officiating, and in my other profession, working with clients in their homes, I have a multitude of axioms that guide my actions in various situations. One of the most useful is:

"What I don't say and when I don't say it, can often be more important than anything I might choose to add to the conversation."

Admittedly, there are a few circumstances in which a bit of comic relief has been very useful in tense situations, with players, coaches, and others. However, following my own axiom, above, I will choose to not recount them in this thread.
