My last captains' meeting went like this:
"You know who your knuckleheads are. Take care of them so we don't have to. Any questions? Anything to add (looking at my partner)? Have a good game."
This year, I've had a U, when I asked him if he had anything to add, ask for the speaking captains. I've had an R start getting into the new rule about team control during throw-ins. About a third of the guys around here will ask for speaking captains; but I have to be honest, I don't even remember who the captains are by the time I toss the jump ball. It's probably something I should work on, but I have never, ever, needed them.
A couple of years ago, I had an R give the whole black line speech with the players (hs game, not a confusing court) and then start to discuss correctable error procedure with the coaches.
