Tanner, BZ dinged you for bad terminology, I'm gonna semi-ding you for your pre-game talk. This is just my own opinion and lots of people disagree, so you have to find what works for you and use that. But -- for me -- I think that the less said, the better. The captains aren't listening to you and they don't really care what you say anyway, and they definitely aren't going to go back to the bench and say, "Ok, guys, the ref told me. . . ."

My pre-game talk is: "Guys/Ladies, shake hands. I'm Mr. Elias, this is Mr. Jones. Blue, who's your floor captain? White, who's your floor captain? Good luck tonight."

As far as your situation with the elbow, that's a "had to be there" moment. If the kid turned and swung, and you thought he was trying to hit the other kid, then I have no problem with the T.
