We had the same situation in a JV game a few weeks ago. The kid said kick in the first half and the white hat just shrugged. Being a JV game I piped up discreetly as possible from my position opposite the ref (I was Umpire that game) and said "Sir, does the captain know he'll be kicking off in both halves most likely?" The ref stopped...looked to the captain and clarified the choice. The cocky little turd said "they'll need all the help they can get, so we want to be on defense." We both shrugged and went on with the game. Game ended Home team 16 cocky visitors 8. Guess they coulda used another series, eh? LOL
