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...

It's the norm here to ask for the speaking captain, to say "white talk to white, blue talk to blue," to ask coaches to "let us know 30 or 60," and some of the other hackneyed fluff. And I don't say any of it. Nowhere is it a requirement.

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.
