Frankly if I were a coach I wouldn't want to hear the same old thing every night, either.

So locally, we meet with the captains at around 6:00, then go over to the benches at around 2:00 for a handshake and a few words with the coaches. Works well when we go to their "turf". We make sure to be done by 1:00 so we don't interfere with their final instructions to the team before the intros/anthem/tip.

I understand in some states a formal meeting is required, sometimes even with a required sportsmanship speech read off a card. If so, c'est la vie.

We do a similar thing here. I really like doing it separately, I think it gives a little bit of ownership to the captains
