Agreed. My captains speech is as short as possible, and I try and make it shorter every season. Not only is it a waste of time trying to educate them on these pearls of wisdom, what's the point in only telling just the captains? Do you think they are going to go back to their teammates and huddle everyone together and say "OK guys, this is not the NBA..."?
