As a basketball official I carry this over by habit to my games by always carrying a pen inside my referee jacket. During the team captains meeting I write down the numbers of the captain(s) on the palm of my hand and circle the spokesperson. I agree knowing who are your team captains is important. I always want to know and remember my team captains so I can refer to him or her at any moment during the game when I need to address any issues or concerns on the court. Like to know if the player speaking to me is the team captain just in case that player is out of line. I get a surprise look from my partners and coaches because their not uses to seeing an official do that. Food to thought.
What do you do when you have games back-to-back, use your other hand? Then how do you remember which hand to use?

I'm just kidding, you don't need to answer. I think that's a really odd way to do it, but whatever works for you. I haven't seen anyone write on their hand since high school.
