It does pose an interesting situation, but your stated solution is NOT supported by the NFHS rules book.

There is no reason that the referee couldn't decide that the defense must choose first. The only rule which currently exists that could apply to this situation is 2-3 and that leaves it completely up to the referee of the game.

I'm not passing judgment on your thought. I just don't want anyone thinking that there is a ruling which says to do it that way.
