What is the most important thing you feel you say to captains during the pre-game??

I like that one. I also like to remind the captain that our state fines each school that has an ejected coach.

Hey everyone, I'm doing a three man crew on a JV Championship game tonight before the district playoff championship, and I'm the R, first time ever.
Someone give em some advice on my pregame. I know the essentials but they've heard the same thing all year, I want to spice it up. Any advice. Good sportsmanship, blahblah... Uniforms tucked in, blahblah...

What is a captain for?
Perhaps this is a silly question, but what exactly is a captain for? I know that supposedly only the captain can approach the officials, and he can designate free throw shooters at certain times. But, in reality, is the captain ever actually useful for anything?

I always make sure that the head coaches are with the captains meeting because I love the look on the coaches faces when I remind them that they are in charge of their teams including everybody on the bench from the head coach down to the last player, manager, etc.

ART. 2 . . . The captain is the representative of his/her team and may address an official on matters of interpretation or to obtain essential information, if it is done in a courteous manner. Any player may address an official to request a time-out or permission to leave the court. What do they do? Fulfill a rule in the book! |

Captian, schmaptian...
One phrase that I stress during the captians mtg:
"As captians, you have been selected as positive leaders for your team. We officials will expect that from you on the court." Then reality sets in: How many times have you had the captians' meeting and found out the coach has given you the player (among the starting five) that is the LEAST appropriate choice. I have been forced to "T" several "captians" this year for very unsportmanship-like actions.

I've said this before, although not everyone agrees with me, but the captains aren't listening to you; so nothing you say is important. Introduce yourselves, shake hands, have fun. Bye!

Question for Chuck - when you introduce yourself are you Mr. Elias or are you Chuck Elias?

I always introduce myself and my partners as "Mr.", although many officials in my area introduce themselves by first name. Maybe it's just how I was raised. I was never allowed to call adults by their first names.
