I certainly do not want to appear aloof---nor do I want to appear ingratiating either.
However, when I see games of tv, at the conclusion the refs are hustling/running off the courst with such urgency and haste as if they are running from a "child support judge".
Any advice is appreciated?

Never a good idea to hang around at the end of ANY level game. As easy as it is to have a player or coach come up to you and thank or compliment you, it's equally as easy for a bitter coach or player to come up to you and give you THEIR thoughts on your skill and abilities (or lack of). Then you're in the middle of a confrontation with very little recourse if anything goes really bad.

Forget about appearing aloof...we SHOULD be aloof. It's easier to be impartial that way. Just head to your area...wait for your partner(s)...but get the he!! out of Dodge as quickly as practical.
