Nope. Seen it. I actually had an intramural teammate request one when I was in college in the 80s. The poor guys on the game - fellow students - had no idea what he was talking about.

A buddy of mine had it happen in a JV game. Subbing coach threw a fit. A few games later, the coach saw the official at another game and showed him the rule book, pointing at the part that says the captain has to request it. Official, fighting all sorts of urges, reminds the coach that it was the captain who requested it.

To go along with the opposing coach choosing the shooter of a injured player:

Had a fellow official a couple years back calling a VG game where the HC for home team was a new coach. Visitors PG is on top of the key and has the ball stolen by defender so she decides to try to steal it back quickly and commits a common foul. Home HC comes up screaming about a "clear path foul" and won't give up. My buddy speaks with him and notes that there is no such high school rule and that watching NBA for rules interpretations isn't recommended.

The only thing close to this are those middle school girls' games when both teams match-up after every single time-out or intermission. I just let it happen.

Due to an editing error, this rule actually disappeared from the NFHS Rulebook for several years, I believe back in the early 1990's.

Back in the middle part of the twentieth century, these matchups were usually done at one of the three jump ball circles. Yes, back then we actually had three different jump ball circles, and we often had several jump balls in a game, and a lot more than several in a middle school girls game. I'm sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. will be moseying along here shortly to confirm, or deny, my statements. Just a reminder to Mark T.
