Actually my local association made a big point about sounding the whistle when bringing in subs this year, so I do hold some scorn for those in our group who refuse to do as they have been asked and instructed.
As for the captains part, my feeling is that once the teams began thinking that they could have more than one captain on the floor, any rule pertaining to captains became useless. What if the team decided to send the entire squad to the pregame captain's meeting? What if they sent all of the seniors on Senior Night and there were 10 of them? Unfortunately, the role of the captain has been greatly eroded over time. I feel that way because I like the history and tradition of the game.

What if I consider IAABO officiating mechanics childish and fit for the elementary school level?
