3-1-1 says, "Each team consists of five players, one of whom is the captain." Ergo, each team shall have no more than one captain. Only one captain shall each team designate. Captains, of which each team has one, will be singular in nature respective to each team, such number never constituting more than two total for both teams. Divide the number two by the number of teams involved and then shall the product be the number of captains each team shall have, which is one. Sorry.... Ceremonially, any number of players may attend the pregame meeting. Heck, make it a big, warm-and-fuzzy-feeling Kum Ba Ya moment and have all the players attend, that's ok. But it's up to you to ask, "Which of you is the captain?" I'll leave it to you to identify the designated privileges and duties ascribed to the two captains. That's found elsewhere in the rules book.

O Captain! My Captain! (Walt Whitman, 1865) ...
2-7-1: The officials shall conduct the game in accordance with the rules. This
includes: Notifying the captains when play is about to begin at the start of the game. 3-1-1: Each team consists of five players, one of whom is the captain. 3-1-2: The captain is the representative of his/her team and may address an official on matters of interpretation or to obtain essential information, if it is done in a courteous manner. Any player may address an official to request a time-out or permission to leave the court. 3-3-E: A captain may request a defensive match-up if three or more substitutes from the same team enter during an opportunity to substitute. 8-2: The free throw(s) awarded because of a personal foul shall be attempted by the offended player. If such player must withdraw because of an injury or disqualification, his/her substitute shall attempt the throw(s) unless no substitute is available, in which case any teammate may attempt the throw(s) as selected by the team captain or head coach. 8-3: The free throws awarded because of a technical foul may be attempted by any player of the offended team, including an eligible substitute or designated starter. The coach or captain shall designate the free thrower(s). For us IAABO guys, IAABO made it a lot easier to avoid the, "Who's the speaking captain? What's your number (if hidden by a warmup jersey)? Are you starting?", in the pregame coaches/captains conference with a mechanics change last season: 2018-2019 IAABO Significant Manual Revisions: The tossing official on the jump ball no longer checks for readiness with the captains. I haven't had a request for a defensive match-up in, literally, decades, and most of the guys here in my little corner of Connecticut will answer questions from any player if done in a courteous manner.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Cap
This is certainly a direct extension of crew working game and should be “to each their own” implemented with purpose... When “R” I keep it short : sportsmanship and stop play on the whistle “C” relay to coach when asking for timeouts inform crew 30/Full

I am still FLOORED any time an official I respect asks for speaking captains. I feel so let down. |

Per NFHS rules there is only one captain. Reference 3-1-1.

So does getting a couple of names and using the names before the jump and when addressing any issues.

No Need for Captains
I do the captains meeting for Varsity and some JV games only. I do not waste my time talking to middle schoolers when they barely put 5 minutes on the clock between games any way.
I also do not ask for a speaking captain. I do not care who the captains are. What if the captain is on the bench when a question needs to be asked? I allow any player to address me as long as it is done respectfully and they do not spend the whole night trying to talk to me. I will not "coach" a player but I will briefly explain why I made a call if it does not take my time or attention away from the game. However, I can go weeks without a player (including a captain) asking a question.

Rapport ...
Not every time for me, depends on the time on the clock, the coaches, and my partner. More likely in a middle school game. If I do it may involve school names, or team mascots, quizzing the opponents regarding such. "Who is Dag Hammarskjöld?" "Why are your opponents called the Noises?" "Why is this school called Wamogo?" "Why is this school called RHAM?" "Who is Woodrow Wilson?"

I owe an apology to Mr. Madden, my Algebra II teacher in high school. I always complained to him, "When will I ever need this in real life". Who knew at the time that I would need it to yank Freddy's chain. And I always wondered why those two trains never collided.
