Over the last five years, I have introduced myself to each head coach when I go to sign the official scorebook and check lineups at the 10 minute mark. At that time I tell advise the coaches that we will have pregame conference at the 7 minute mark with him/her and their captain(s). I then return to the far side and continue to observe warmup. At 7 minutes my partner and I walk across the court. The coaches know what we are coming for and in 90% of the cases call out to their captains before we even get there. In the last five years (in the St Louis area) I have had head coaches and captains attend all pregame conferences.
