Tony,
It's not black and white, but I don't agree with this last little detail.
The team that took the 30 should have their player ready to go in 30 seconds. To allow otherwise would be to encourage a team to make the other coach commit first to what type of TO he is taking.
I can just see the coaches arguing over who is going to have to decide first. Next we'll have to have a rule that says the home team can choose last. Just silly.
Using NFHS material, we covered this at our clinic on Monday night.

It doesn't matter who decides first. The coach can choose to use either TO. If one chooses a 30 and the other uses a 60, then the horn operates on a full TO scenario.
