Meeting with captains/coaches before game

[Raymond]

Captains: You know who your knuckleheads are, handle them so we don't have to.

Coaches: Good luck.

Love this!

Players legally equipped? Know how to wear their uniforms properly? Practice good sportsmanship. That's all the NFHS requires, and that's all I say. No more. No less. Otherwise, when in Rome ...

This is all they get from me.

"No fast breaks."

For girls, add: "...and nothing above the rim."

Where are my floor captains? Guys, if we're talking to you, we're trying to keep you out of trouble, so please listen. Don't talk to each other. If you have a problem, talk to us, and we'll listen, I promise. Keep the elbows in, because if you catch somebody above the shoulders, we have to go intentional (or "flagrant" in a college game). Have a good game.

You forgot the color of the line "all the way around".

"white going this way, black going that way"

Slightly off-topic and I don't have books available, but what does the manual say the referee should do just prior to administering the opening jump ball?

Captains: Good sportsmanship...and as leaders, take care of crap before we have to. Good luck.

Coaches: Reminder to tell us what type of TO right away and wrap up by the first so we can start by the 2nd.

You can make fun, it's ok. But I've found that it takes less than 30 seconds and it tells them about sportsmanship and elbows in a way that they haven't heard before.

Mine too.

Had one girl look at me like I was speaking French. Don't think she knew what "knuckleheads" meant.
