player/coach pregame ?

[ctpfive]

Does anyone have a short, to the point player/coach pregame that they would like to share? In our state(MT) we are required to have a pregame meeting with coaches and players at the 12 minute mark prior to game. We meet with the coaches and players(captains-usaully one or two palayers from each team) at the same time. Thanks in advance.

There is one of these that I don't understand. The speaking captain. I will listen to any player on the floor, if they are respectful in the way they address me. I won't listen to any players for long if they aren't respectful, regardless of their status as "speaking captain"....along those lines, if the speaking captain is not on the floor, do you no longer entertain questions from the floor??? Some of the guys I work with here ask for speaking captains, but to me it is just a waste of good oxygen...

I agree we'll talk to anyone, but only 2 people are allowed to designate the shooter on a T, coach and CAPTAIN. Only 1 person is allowed to request a defensive matchup, the CAPTAIN.

"Who's your floor captain, Blue? Who's your floor captain, White? Coaches, we'll try to answer questions, but we won't be having long discussions out here. If you wander out of the box to ask us a question, we will politely remind you to stay in the box. If you wander out of the box to yell at us, we have other ways of getting you back to your bench. Any questions? Have a great game, everybody."

Nothing like starting a game with a threat.
