Injured Captains, Nonstarting Captains ...

Agree with you 100% (and have agreed with you throughout this thread, though the literal meaning of 3-1-1 was a slight surprise for me).
No "speaking" captains for me, and no "speaking" captains for the NFHS.
So tell Indianaref, not me.
I've actually had a game where the referee asked for a "speaking" captain, didn't ask if he was starting, and remembered his number. Not finding him on the court for the jump ball, he actually took a step, or two, toward the bench, and asked him if he was ready to start the game. I can't remember if he started his pregame meeting with, "It's the black line all the way around".
