No Need for Captains
I do the captains meeting for Varsity and some JV games only. I do not waste my time talking to middle schoolers when they barely put 5 minutes on the clock between games any way.
I also do not ask for a speaking captain. I do not care who the captains are. What if the captain is on the bench when a question needs to be asked? I allow any player to address me as long as it is done respectfully and they do not spend the whole night trying to talk to me. I will not "coach" a player but I will briefly explain why I made a call if it does not take my time or attention away from the game. However, I can go weeks without a player (including a captain) asking a question.
