Very well, upon further inspection:

NFHS Rule 3-1-2 "The captain ... 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."

So, I suppose a non-captain player is not supposed to ask for info courteously, but if he did, would you consider this unsportsmanlike? Hardly, I say. I typically won't address bench personnel, but if they're on the floor, as I like to say in pre-game, "question anything you like, as long as you're civil about it."

There's also an IAABO mechanic to inform the captains, scorer, and timer, at the start of each overtime period, that we start with a jump ball, the arrow starts fresh, there's an additional 60-second time-out, and we'll continue in the same direction we'll be going.

I say, just call for the captains if and when that happens. No need to memorize anything.

Of course. Flagrant technical foul, and toss him, his coach, the speaking captain, and the horses that they all rode in on.
