The old coin toss really created problems when the Iowa girls would play an Illinois team. I live right on the Iowa/Illinois border and those games were humorous, watching the Iowa girls trying to figure out how to set up for the jump ball if I was working in Illinois, or the look of disbelief on the faces of the Illinois girls when we did the coin flip in pregame in Iowa.

A coin flip to start the game? That just ain't basketball.
