Where do you have the captains stand for captains meeting

[HokiePaul]

When the captains are called for the pregame meeting at center court, do you have the players switch sides and face their first half basket, or do you let them stay of the side of the court where they are warming up?

I know its a minor detail, but I've seen some partners have the players switch sides and face their basket and others not. Now that I'm being assigned the "R" role a lot more this year, I have to decide whether to tell the players to "switch sides and face your basket" or to let them stay on their side of the court.

I was just curious to see what others did ... perhaps there is some logic or reason that I'm not aware of that would make one way preferable to the other.

Thanks.

We aren't told one way or another in SC, but almost everyone has the players face their basket.

The next time I have them "switch sides" would be the first, for me. Seems silly for a meeting that won't last more than 30 seconds.

Agreed.

Here, though, the meeting is with captains and coaches, so the players switch to stand next to their coaches.

In front of the scorers table with their coaches on their bench side

On each others shoulders?

When I am the R, I tell my partner in the pre-game we are going to do this.

I do not make them stand anywhere. I shake their hands and they go where they want to be.
