Captains meeting is a ritual dictated by rule.
It can be worthwhile, or at officials discretion, become a waste of time.
I do enjoy a moment to "chat" with the kids, shake their hands, say hello, and establish that me and partner are credible, informed, serious but human. Being with the kids is why I do this anyway.
Officials authority in the environment of the basketball floor (it is a game) is best introduced at captains meeting firm with a smile.
