I think its a great idea, but for a different reason. I think its a game management issue. By the middle of the second quarter, I will have long forgotten what the coach told me.
BUT
If I ask that question during the pregame meet, I have now planted in the coach's mind that we are both here for the same reason: To allow the kids to play. It gives me some common ground with the coach. Kind of a Vulcan Mind control thing. After all, coaches are susceptible to all sorts of tricks.
