Does that require a speaking captain? Any captain should be able to do this. I don't ask anyone if they're ready for the jump. I never ask for a speaking captain. I also rarely remember who the captains are once that little meeting is over. If I need a captain during the game, I ask for one.

"Any captain?" There can be only one. 3-1 NCAA AR41 gives additional information, that I tend to follow in HS games. Note that none of this prohibits an official from speaking to anyone who is polite. |

ART. 1. . . Notifying the captains when play is about to begin at the start of the game." (NFHS 2-7-1) Although the requirement for notification would logically imply this is an opportunity for the captain to ask us to hold on. BTW, if I'm going to be taken to task over calling the end line "the baseline"...where would I find "speaking captain" anywhere in the literature?

Threats
My partner's pregame coaches/captains meeting the other night:
"Ok guys, we're gonna let you play as hard as you want, but if it gets out of control, we're gonna go to Plan B? You know what I mean? For your reference, no, we did not discuss any Plan B in our pregame meeting. |

Yikes! I think I might ask that guy why he said that. Was a new or a veteran? |

Girls game the other night. I was the U2. In the pregame the R told us that we weren't going to do several of the mechanics by the book, but instead were going to do certain things in such and such a way. When I asked him why, he said because that's what he wanted to do.
So at the captains meeting after listening to an insanely long-winded and pointless speech by the R, he asked if I had anything to add and I replied, "Yes, girls please remember that I have absolutely no responsibility here tonight whatsoever. Have a nice game." The U1 almost split his pants. |

I might just leave them to a 2 man mechanic game. That would never fly here in Ohio |

Safe to say, I don't/won't work with him again. |

Yeah, we aren't able to block partners, but I have seen worse and I just hopefully won't have to work with him again. |

Thought of this thread as I was talking to a friend official this morning who had a game Friday night and R literally took almost 3 minutes. He said coaches were visibly annoyed and boys' eyes were glazed over.
Friend was tempted to add a few comments when asked by R , "anything?" |

I have worked with a couple guys over the years who like to add things like "Hand-checking is a pet peeve of mine as is palming the ball." When they start the speech that way, I typically "add" that while my partner will be calling those two pages of the Rules Book, I will be attempting to enforce the rules covered in the other 94 pages along with those two. |
