RULE NO. 3—PLAYERS, SUBSTITUTES AND COACHES
Section III—The Captain

b. The designated captain is the only player who may talk to an official during a regular or 20-second timeout charged to his team. He may discuss a rule interpretation, but not a judgment decision.
c. If the designated captain continues to sit on the bench, he remains the captain for the entire game.
d. In the event that the captain is absent from the court or bench, his coach shall immediately designate a new captain.
