Speaking captain?

Nope. It is the absolute dumbest thing we do at the already dumb meeting with 2-6 dudes who never listen and don’t share your information with their teammates.

Really the only reason we do it is to give the impression to the building that we’re talking about something meaningful. As for me, I try to say something original and/or funny every time I’m the R and usually it has absolutely nothing to do with basketball. If we gotta huddle in that circle, I figure I might as well introduce myself as a normal human being instead of a domineering robot. Helps get the players on our side and might pay dividends later when the tension rises.
