We walk to the benches at some point around or after the 2:00 mark before the game. If there are not there, oh well. Our captain's meeting is held at center court, usually around the 12:00 mark.

Years ago, when I got my first game as a BV crew chief, the home team coach hung out at the far end of the bench when we approached. He didn't come up to meet us so I started my "coach's box, full or 30 time-out" spiel to the assistants. He came up quickly and stated emphatically that he was the HC. I responded by saying "you weren't here, so I spoke to who was available". To this day he still is on my list of coaches I really don't like b/c he is always an a-hole to newer guys working his games.
