When I white hat JV/MS games, I always ask the coaches in the pregame conference what they will do if they win the toss. And when we actually get the captains to walk them out, before we do so I make sure the home captain knows what he's going to do, and I ask me umpire to do the same with the visiting team.
On Friday nights we do the same thing, but I'm a BJ so I have no input on the discussion here.
I agree that HS seniors and juniors SHOULD know what they're doing. Sad fact is, they don't. And I don't want to punish an entire team because a 17 year old kid doesn't understand a concept that confuses a lot of players/coaches/referees/fans as well.
