Why do we need to say something in the pregame that coaches already know? They know they are supposed to tell you what kind of timeout they want. If they do not know that, they will figure it out when we go with the timeout they did not tell us about. I never tell coaches anything in the pre-game about timeout communication. It is often a waste of time and they tell us anyway. At least that is the case with the varsity coaches.

But I guess since I don't run over to the HC and ask him an explicit question, I'm not communicating.

Also, I am not really a fan of telling kids "white talk to white, blue talk to blue" Its another do as they do in Rome thing, but where does it stop. Again 9x out of 10, the kid coming to the pre-game conference isn't the knot-head that is going to run his mouth. I do tell them if they have questions come ask myself or my partners, I want them to know as a captain I may need them later in the game to go tell their teammate to knock it off. My 2 cents...

We have a combined meeting with coaches and captains here. When I'm the R, the elapsed time from when I start speaking until I end with "Have a good game" is roughly 20 seconds. Last edited by SC Official; Mon Jan 08, 2018 at 06:20pm. |

I'm more likely to say, "play hard and make momma proud" ![]() I just think we have to realize that kids and coaches look at that meeting as a check mark. Anything we can do to not be robotic is probably worth it.

I don't "frown upon" the other lines, but I think they're stupid. I've actually been complimented before by coaches on how short and to-the-point my pregame is. |

Who do you know who to allow to ask for a defensive matchup when 3 or more players come in the game if you don't check their numbers in the captain's meeting?
