Like I said, if you want to rely on the book telling you to do it so you do it without thinking about why (i.e. the INTENT), then so be it. But this is what the NCAA book says about penalties:
==============
How and When Completed
ARTICLE 1. a. A penalty is completed when it is accepted, declined or canceled according to rule, or when the choice is obvious to the referee.
=====================
Does not require captains be given a choice.
Next time you are on the sideline at a college or NFL game, watch what happens when Team A false starts. Count the number of times the R goes to the defense for an option. You will not need and fingers to do the counting.
Is there a logical reason for advising when choice is obvious?
