Pre-Game Captains Meeting

[BlueDevilRef]

In Missouri, head coaches required to be at captains meeting. I prefer to just address the small coaches stuff then.


I wish I had a cool signature

Tonight I said, "The IHSA requires that I mention sportsmanship. More importantly, Santa is coming this week and you don't want to be on the wrong list."

Ha!! I've been saying that all month, or at least something about Santa is watching so be good sports.

First and foremost, have fun tonight.
Respect the game.
Respect your opponents.
Respect us as your referees.
If you have any questions during the game feel free to ask and we will give you a quick answer and then we'll move on.
Any questions now?
Good luck. Have fun.

Quick introductions with Mr._______ being our names

Tell captains that they may respectfully ask questions during the game

Tell captains they are in charge of their team on the floor and that I would appreciate if they would take care of any issues. If I have to take care of them, we shoot free throws.

Verify with the coaches that the teams are legally equipped

My captain's meeting goes like this.

"We expect good sportsmanship. Any questions?"

With coaches its a "hi" and "good luck"

NY state forces pregame sportsmanship meeting with both teams at half court. Waste of time and it doesn't really change anything.

It would be a cold day in hell before I'd introduce myself as "Mr." anything.

I've had partners do that....I usually jump in and say, "I'm Rich."

Of course I also call all coaches by their first names, as well.
