We used to have a "script" in NC, now we are just supposed to emphasize sportsmanship to the coaches/captains. Every crew I've worked on has done this anyway, so it isn't much of a change. And I agree with Zeke in that it sounds like a good idea, but you're lucky if you can get the captains to look in your direction, much less actually pay attention. I think (and I know this is going out on a limb) that the coaches are the ones this should be emphasized to because they have the control over the players. I too don't plan on changing how I officiate based on this. A few added words aren't going to change the attitudes of the players, actions (i.e. - flags) will.
