This with the couple of changes:
With captains replace "hotheads" with "knuckleheads".
With coaches rather than say "good luck" I say "Have a good game".
Had a veteran official tell me when I was just getting started he used to say good luck...until a coach smiled and ask "Am I going to need luck with you in the game?" He said it was obviously an attempt at humor but it got him thinking.
