I use an ABCDE approach that takes just a moment:
A=always signal for a 20-second timeout immediately when one is called if that is what you want; if not, then you get a full
B=book gets checked by each coach for players names, numbers, and starters, and then initialed by coach (no excuses then if there is an "administrative" problem with the book)
C=coach's box reminder
D=designate captains
E=equipment and uniforms, are they all legal and being worn properly?
Good luck to each of you.
And then we officials go get the captains and have the pre-game conference with them.
