IHSA (Illinois) uses the NFHS standard OT procedure. We recently had a 2 OT game. After the first OT, I offered the loser of the first OT coin toss the choice of Off./Def./Which end of field. This team selected D. I then asked the other team which end to play in. They selected the opposite end that the 1st OT had been played in. Coaches and officials questioned my decision to move from one end to the other after an OT. These people's contention was that once an end is selected, we do not move. I am confident that I presented the correct choices, but want to know if other officials' are interpreting the OT procedure rules in the way that would keep all OTs in one end of the field.
