Cartmell Capt meeting

[icallfouls]

Treat it like the military, don't ask, don't tell. In other words, if you don't want your partner to add anything, don't open the door for them to do so.

I have from on ocassion, during pregame, told my partner, I will ask you during captain's meeting if you have anything to add, but have said to partners that the appropriate response is "no"

Then why ask?

I don't ask my partner(s) to give input. If I need them to say something, I will tell them before the game. Likewise, I don't talk during their meetings.

I have had very few partners step in and start talking without me asking them to. The one I remember was a veteran that started asking about speaking captains when I didn't. (I never do) Nowadays, if I haven't worked with a guy, I will tell him that I don't get speaking captains and not to worry about it.

It's easy for me. I generally don't listen to my partner's captain's meeting spiel.

Occasionally, I pretend to look at a watch.

Yeah, like the captains in a couple of these videos.

I can't stand the " that guy" captain's meeting. It drives me nuts.

I don't care who the speaking captain is. You better know what lines we are using. You better know that handchecking is a foul.

My typical captain's spiel is as follows:
"shirts tucked in, subs to the table, take care of your hammer heads before we have to take care of them... any questions? good luck, have fun"


over in 14.5 seconds


Every year our exec hounds us to take care of the sub and uniform issues hence the inclusion.






in FIBA I games I don't even speak to the captains
