Dan Dierdorf once told the story of Jerry Markbreit telling them they didn't want a choice when they made a choice to decline the penalty in order to get the statistics for a player.
In my pregame with the coaches I let them know the captains will not get a verbal "if you decline" on obvious penalties. If there is a real choice the captain get turned in the direction of the coach while I explain the choices.
The thing I like to do is make sure the cpatain does not make a mistake and take the wrong choice. Someone is going to say our job is not to coach and that is correct. But if you assist the captain of both teams with the coices that does not give an advanatge to either team.
