I live just down the road, but don't worry, I'll be neutral tonight. And girls, don't hang on the rim after you dunk."

Unfortunately I hear this a lot when I'm the U.

After I ask if there are any questions (usually never are) I simply say "OK, let's have a good clean game tonight" and leave it at that.

I avoid wishing any of them good luck or anything.

I had forgotten about that one.

Someone should come with a list of things not to say in a pregame captains/coaches meeting. Freddy's given us a good starting point.

And, by the way coach, you're still single, right?

What not to say:
We are gonna call (fill in blank)
Who are my speaking captains? And those that ask this, why? I asked That Guy and he said......well, he didn't have a reason. In the meeting, after asking who are my speaking captains, That Guy said, anyone can talk to us. So why the distinction of a speaking captain?
And anything else that drags the meeting past 1 min.

The list would be too long.
