Many make some good suggestions. To them add:
*) Eliminate jackets. A totally, unnecessary expense.
*) Eliminate captains meetings. A totally, unnecessary time waster.
*) Meet both coaches simultaneously. This would be a nice time saver and prohibit the chance of perceived bias/favoritism. If still have captains, have them attend this meeting too.

When the ball goes out of bounds everyone in the gym knows the ball is dead and the clock stops. Signaling "stop the clock" (yes, it is a "stop the clock for violation" signal) is pointless.
The NFHS doesn't say anything about jackets in the Rules. I don't think the Manual mentions them either. So that's your state's problem.
