By strict interpretation of the rule, BZ is correct. The cite is NFHS rule 3-1-1&2. By rule, there is only
one captain allowed, and that
one captain is the
only player on that team that is allowed to ask questions.
By custom though, teams are also allowed co-captains, and co-captains are also usually allowed to speak. There was a FED case play issued years ago that said the captain could designate co-captains, and a co-captain could ask questions when the captain was on the bench. That evolved into usually just allowing everybody who showed up at the pre-game meeting to ask questions at any time.
Personally, if as player is polite, I'll answer any question from anybody. It just ain't a biggie.
