I can usually go around the field without much trouble, if and when I get to an area where I am unsure, I ask a question. It just shows the coaches and players that I am the authority... not them. I like it when the coaches don't say much at the pre-game conf. and throughout the game itself. Just my opinion, for what its worth.

It's worth about $0.00000000000000001 per word. Maybe less.
Lineup cards, home coach gives the ground rules, start game. I'm in quiet, perfect control.
