Do you guys - BillyMac and JetMetFan - really do that during spring/summer league games?

Most of the time doing those games, I am working with a newer official so we use timeouts to discuss stuff ourselves. I can't remember the last time I worked a non-season/non-camp game and we went to the designated time-out positions.

I seldom work off season games, maybe just a few AAU games, but I do work Catholic middle school games on weekends during the season. And in this little corner of Connecticut, we go where we're supposed to go during time outs, and intermissions. We will get together for a few more pow-wows than during a high school varsity game, but the discussion will be about "business", the game, the coaches, interesting plays in the game, tough calls, etc. We will not be discussing anything else, i.e., Christmas gifts, the weather, politics, gas prices, etc.

When I work in the summer now it's usually at officiating camps so I'd have to say yes. Even in a spring or summer league - I'm doing my first one of those in eons this weekend - I usually try to just to avoid getting into bad habits. Worst case scenario is I'll stand in the center circle.
