There's no way I'd remember that 15 is white's speaking captain and 51 is blue's speaking captain. No way I'm gonna check the book to see if the right player is asking questions.

I just tell the captains in the meeting to watch their teammates and take care of any heated situations before I have to.

Well, then I go over the boundary lines, ground rules, new rule changes and points of emphasis, and ask them where the best place in town is to get a bite to eat after the game.

What? You don't cover your philosophy on hand checking so they know how you'll call it tonight? You don't ask who that smoking hot mother on the third row is? That's a pretty incomplete pre-game.
