"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 |
For both Captains and Coaches one practical benefit I get is maybe to break the ice a bit have everyone shake hands and get off to a calm, friendly, amicable start.
Concur, few listen at either meeting. Never had a coach say, "No, my players are not properly equipped." But, have had to tweet, very early for violations.
I do it because I'm supposed to, it breaks the ice, and I cover what I'm told. Me no likey "Speaking Captains."
Now, if we could speak to the entire team for 20 seconds AND have an associated T when a player violates any of our "recommendations", I might like that!
