What did he add to your spiel??
Did the players pay any more attention to his comments than they did for yours?

As these are all good things to do for a pregame meeting with the captains. Normally at the NIRSA tournaments you are giving a pregame speech about sportmanship you are suppose to read. Also, check with your clinicians about anything special they want you to cover regading rules and certain things.

I remember doing those back when I was college, I went a lot of time to the Northeast at Boston Uninversity or the Mid-Atlantic at University of Maryland regionals had a blast learned a lot and also earned a few trips to the National Tournament.

Most important have fun with it and try to learn and with your pregame try to keep it consistant through out the tournament for both Men's and Women's team!

Can you guys in Pennsylvania please update these, if needed.
Updated for PA.

However, many in the do not read it they actually summarize it. I do it verbatim as some have lost games for not reading the speech.

The following are a few years old and may be outdated:

The National High School Federation and your state association require officials to enforce sportsmanship rules. High school athletics emphasize positive values. All of us have worked hard to create a sense of teamwork, respect, responsibility and perspective. We remind you that we expect good behavior and will quickly penalize misconduct. We encourage and appreciate your help. Let the competition reflect mutual respect among participants and officials. Coaches please certify that your players are legally equipped and uniformed according the NFHS rules. Good luck and have a great contest! (New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, Kentucky High School Athletic Association)

"PIAA requires all registered sports' officials to enforce the sportsmanship rules for coaches and contestants. Actions meant to demean opposing players, team, spectators and officials are not in the highest ideals of interscholastic education and will not be tolerated. Let today's contest reflect mutual respect. Coaches please certify to the umpire that your players are legally equipped and uniformed according to NFHS rules. Good luck in today's contest." (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association)

To captains: The FHSAA requires officials to enforce all rules regarding unsportsmanlike conduct by players and coaches. Violators will be ejected. It is strongly suggested that you remind your teammates and coaches of this policy. Additionally, this is a simple reminder that jewelry is not allowed, and jerseys must be tucked in during play if they are designed to be worn in. To coaches: Coaches, do you certify that your players are properly equipped and will demonstrate sportsmanlike behavior during today’s contest? (Florida High School Activities Association)

Can you guys in New Jersey, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Florida, please update these, if needed.
I've got a card, but I don't read it.

Agreed. It's just a game like the last 40 or 50 we've done. Do your best. Half the fans are going to hate/blame you regardless.

Have fun.

I use the HORSE pre-game conference:

H: hustle - work hard to get good angles and correct positions
held ball-stay with players, partner will check arrow
AP throw-in: review situations that may occur before throw-in ends
(fouls, violations, kicked ball that may or may not affect
the arrow)
honesty, integrity
home team - always wins (just kidding)

O: obvious- call the obvious, don't miss the obvious!
one and one- communicate at 6, help get shooter
official NFHS mechanics, no NCAA
outside play- handchecking, 5 sec. counts, screens, 3 pt. tries

R: respect the coaches/players, be professional and patient but penalize if
they disrespect us in a way that cannot be ignored.
review-anything unusual that occurs, get together-make sure we get
everything correct (technical fouls, correctable errors, etc.)
rim-if applicable, be alert for GT, BI

S: support each other-work as a team, communicate
seconds- accurate counts, 5 sec. counts 6' not 3', last second shots
subs- let all report, count players
similar plays call similar ways

E: enthusiasm for the game, energetic
errors-wrong OB call, changing a 2 to 3, or 3 to 2, timeframe for CE's.
enjoy the opportunity


Having said all that, go out there and HORSE around!

If I hear one more official tell the girls in the pregame not to hang on the rim, I am going to puke.

He's referring to his pre-game with his partners, not the captains.

My mistake. I guess there has been so much discussion on the captains meetings that I got carried away.
