"I asked the coaches if their players were properly and legally equipped."
"And do you think he gave you a thoughful answer?"
"Not really."
Could just be me, though. 
Who knows, maybe that's why they do it in my area; I only do it because I'm not going to be "that guy." The only thing I don't do that others do around here is ask for speaking captains |
I respect that. Perhaps it was "the way I was raised" by my assignor and area officials/evaluators. They are very specific and insistent about pre-game and the content covered - and why.
At least for me, I know that if I don't ask these questions, I am in some shape or form going to hear about it. And, "hearing about it" is potentially a negative in my file with the assignor and/or coach/AD. And, I can't have negative stuff piling up on me when it's very easy to stay out of trouble by doing what is expected.
