Thanks!

NCAAW: On the floor at 15:00. Captains at 12:30 -- "Visitors any questions? Home any questions? Who's speaking? Good luck." R checks the book. Leave. Return at 3:00. Meet the V Coach at 1:30 ("Hi, I'm Bob. Have a good game tonight". Meet the H Coach immediately after (Same spiel.)

I'ts all covered in the mechanics manual.

Nice, I have my first college game on Saturday, looking forward to the "short" pregame as well.

Part of that is incorrect for NCAAW.

According to the CCA manual you talk to the captain's at approx 14:30 on the clock (p. 36). Then between the 12:30 and 11:00 mark, the R checks the book and gets a game ball.

Bob,

Do you have an actual purpose for asking who's speaking?

It's required in NCAAW mechanics -- 3.1.4C.

You can also get this from the rule 3-2 ("The Captain" -- singular).

As a practical matter, though -- I'll talk to anyone who is polite, and if the person is not polite it doesn't matter that she's the captain.

(And, Thanks to TerpZebra for the correction on the pre-game activities / timing)

Both NCAA and Fed call for a Speaking Captain to be designated in the pre game, for formal communication.
but as you said as long as the person is polite I do not feel the need to make them go through their Speaking Captain.

Do you have a citation for this for Federation rules?
