The rest of the court marking are in the white as well.

So if I believe that the players are experiencing "this gym" for the first time, I do mention it to the captains. I also mention it to the coaches as well.

It's an ounce of prevention instead of a pound of complaining when I whistle an unexpected OB (or other) call.
This falls under the, "know your animal" category.

At this point in the HS/NCAA season my captains & coaches meeting is the same.
Me: "Questions, comments, concerns?"
Captains/coaches: No
Me: "Ok best wishes!"
