Now I introduce my self to the coaches.
I have been giving them a little spiel about only head coaches can stand and do they have any questions concerning the rules.

Is that enough or what ? No one has has really ever covered this with me beyond introduce yourself to the coaches ,

I also work in an area with like 120 high school so I see most of these coaches once maybe twice a year.

I guess I am looking for a preset routine for this .....

"Hi Coach, my name is Chess Ref. Good luck tonight."

They already know the rules (at least the ones they want to know) and you will hit the sportsmanship and legally equipped questions in the Coachs/Captians meeting. Don't get yourself into a questions and answers sessions as they will try to corner you on how handchecks, etc, will be called and then try to hold it against you during the game. An introduction is just that. If you want to say more, let them know that you want to hold the meeting at 4 minutes so if they plan to leave the floor, make sure they are back in time.
