Of Captains and Coin Tosses

[Rich]

What does this have to do with this thread?

We do the toss with the captains, as do most everyone else....but I already know what the coaches want from our pregame meeting.

Oh, and we get penalty decisions from the coaches. Nothing anyone says here will change that, either.

On this board, as well as other boards, there has been considerable suggestions that decisions for both/either issues be handled EXCLUSIVELY between coaches and officials, bypassing and/or ignoring captains.

Sometimes it can be a worthwhile effort to refresh what the rules ACTUALLY suggest.

With a minimum of effort and common sense, it's entirely doable to inconspicuously involve both coaches AND captains in decisions, so you get BOTH the right decision without ignoring an/or disrespecting the captain.

But if, "NOTHING anyone says here will change that" then there may not be much point in listening, to anything.
