You should have the same scorn then for those who don't notify the captains before the toss and for those that don't whistle in subs. After all, both of those items are in the NFHS manual.

Edited to add: Before I'm accused of being snarky, I don't really do this often, but there are games (mainly small school (in rural areas) games) where I do. I *have* had jumpers line up the wrong way in varsity contests.

That said, you're right. It's really an unnecessary thing and for someone who's captain's meeting averages about 12 seconds (seriously), it seems weird I'd add anything extraneous like this.
