That's why I included the disclaimer about "at least in my state." It does not happen, not even in the state tournament. All captains' meeting are just officials and players in the jump circle, and if it lasts more than 30 seconds, the referee must be "that guy." The coaches are not present ... ever.

I'm aware of what IAABO/NFHS say about the pregame captains/coaches meeting, who is to be involved, what is to be asked and where it is to take place on the floor.

But like I said, none of that happens in Massachusetts.
