Captains

[arthur_b9]

As a professional firefighter one of my duties at work is to drive the fire engine (engineer) to the scene of the emergency and/or incident. I always carry a pen with me to write drown the address and/or location of the incident. When I donÂ’t have any paper handy I use the palm of my hand to write the address down for quick reference. As a basketball official I carry this over by habit to my games by always carrying a pen inside my referee jacket. During the team captains meeting I write down the numbers of the captain(s) on the palm of my hand and circle the spokesperson. I agree knowing who are your team captains is important. I always want to know and remember my team captains so I can refer to him or her at any moment during the game when I need to address any issues or concerns on the court. Like to know if the player speaking to me is the team captain just in case that player is out of line. I get a surprise look from my partners and coaches because their not uses to seeing an official do that. Food for thought.
