Coaches:
1. Introductions
2. Ask the 2 questions (players properly equipped & good sportsmanship)
3. Any questions?
4. Good luck!
Captains:
1. Introductions
2. "We expect you to keep your shirts tucked, pants pulled up & display good sportsmanship."
3. Very briefly boundaries/obstructions only if there's something peculiar that warrants it - otherwise no.
4. Questions?
5. Good Luck!
I'm a firm believer in K.I.S.S. - it should never take more than 15-20 seconds for either conference.

For your captains conference, I would only comment on; sportsmanship, directions to start the game, team colors, and outer court boundaries.
You must conference the head coach's regarding sportsmanship, time out signals (if no signal they will be issued a full time-out), 2 sounds for horn (warning/ready-to-play), coach's box (this is your warning), and any other 2005-6 points emphasis or rule revisions that may be an issue.
I never wish the captains or head coach's to have good luck.
I make a comment, "have a good game".
