I've been on crews that have done it each way -- R and U in street clothes before teams go on field; R and U only on field before game; all 5 crew members before game. My preference is all 5 -- we can all hear what the coach says about his plays or other comments; we get a chance to ask any follow-up question; we all get to meet and know who the head coach is. As a BJ on a crew where only R and U met the coach, I didn't know who to look to when a coach on the sideline was calling a TO. As a flank official when R and U only met with the coach, I had to waste his pregame time introducing myself to the coach on my sideline and may have no idea who the head coach is on opposite sideline (though that's not important for my duties, it's helpful and informative).
