Just last night, winning captain elects to kick. I repeat his options and he says he wants to kick. I asked "are you sure?" and he says he wants to kick.
After the coin toss - I went to the coach to make sure he understood what happened and he said his captain did what he (the coach) wanted - he wanted to kick!
I never did ask why he didn't just defer.
I always give options in this order, "defer, receive, kick or defend a goal." I don't disagree with those who don't give all the options, but I figure captians and coaches have to take some responsibility for knowing what the heck to do!
