Requesting a defensive matchup

NFHS rules. I was watching a 5th grade girls travel game the other day and one team substituted all 5 every few minutes. The team I was there to watch almost always took a couple defensive possessions before figuring out who they had.

I know a captain can request a defensive matchup on >= 3 subs.

Can the coach also request a defensive matchup, or does he have to tell the captain to do it? Secondly, if the captain is on the bench, is he/she still the only one that can request a defensive matchup? Thanks.
