Because most captains aren't smart enough to know the options nor dumb enough to reply without asking the coach.

So, cut out the middleman.

Why would we ask the captain when we are allowed to ask the coach?

I'm asking the boss the questions rather than someone delegated to speak for him.

You're just begging for MTD's history lesson, aren't you? He'll be along later to educate us on the benefits of the buggy whip, telegraph, and prominence of the captain back in a time when the coach was a non-entity like modern day cheer leaders.

Oh I know we'll be getting a history lesson in the near future.

I'm asking whomever closest to me. If that's the captain and he/she wants to discuss it with their coach, what's an extra 20 seconds to me? In the list of the top 100 things that matter during a game, this comes in around #2436 imo.

The only point I was trying to make was that you don't have to ask the coach. Hopefully that will be enough to forestall another 231,000 word filibuster from MTD Sr. on why historically we should ask the captain. But I'm not counting on it.

It's been my experience that all the players are looking at the coach for the answer anyhow. I feel like if I were to ask a captain around here who's shooting, he'd look to the coach for the answer. Either that or the team already has a player who regularly takes their technical free throw shots.

And the beast is already unleashed...the history essay is inevitable.

And what if we forgot to ask who the speaking captain was during the pre-game meeting?

Ditto. I do whatever is convenient. Sometimes I'll just ask the shooter if he is there to shoot the Technical.

I go to the coach most of the time. Works for me.

Because, historically, The Captain is The Man, not the Head Coach. I do not have time to go into it now because MTD, Jr., and I are getting ready to go to our last H.S. game of the year.
