Resumption of play procedure.

And they think the captains are going to go back and tell the coaches this information?

I've had partners ask the captains to help us out in this regard; as if the coach is going to stop his lecture because the captain reminds him the first horn has sounded.

I just ask the captains to take care of their teammates, and I leave the TO issue to the coach's meeting.
"Let us know on 30/60, and get them out after that first horn so we can get started on the second."

Football has a "get back coach." Some here have advocated trying to get a "get em out" coach in basketball -- go to that adult and have him/her prod the coach to stop talking. At least the coach can't complain that no adult on his/her staff was "warned".

Most of my college games when we give the "1st horn" warning there's an AC watching for us who then tells the HC he needs to wrap it up.

Yep -- but that often doesn't filter down to the HS level.

If a team is slow at first, I have been know to get an assistant coach's attention and let him / her know that the team was slow and that I would appreciate his / her help in getting the team out on future TOs.

My captain's meeting was 12 seconds long last night. My coach meetings were exactly the game as always. Name, are the players properly attired, good luck.

I may be cynical, but none of the extra stuff gets through and I'm not really that concerned if a team steals an extra 5-10 seconds on a timeout. I make up for it by administering things like free throws and throw-ins expeditiously.

Once last season, like I said -- I had already talked to an assistant and then the head coach. If there's anything I hate, it's being ignored.

I don't know about all these "coaches meetings" you guys talk about. I'm glad the only "coaches meetings" we deal with are at the 1:30 mark in the pregame warmups where we introduce ourselves and wish them "good luck" !!

One of the few times that I will talk to an assistant coach.

Or his team mates?

It's just another angle to try and help the game.

Yeah, we tell the coaches too. Kind of an extra POE for the game - our gift!

As Bob said, Roman Law applies. Here, we're taught to be a bit more strict about it. Like Rich, I also set the ball on the floor once all last season (after my partner already did once), as most teams here are pretty good about getting back on the court in time.

If I see a true effort to get to the throw-in, I'll hold it. If they're making their way out slowly, a simple whistle, "blue ball," and direction pointing tend to speed things up.

Here in my little corner of Connecticut, we meet with both the captains, and the coaches, at the 5:00 mark. No separate meetings, one for coaches, another for captains. Am I missing something? Is Connecticut that different on how this meeting (NFHS) is handled in other states?
