I had a game several years ago where the visitors won the toss and the conversation was something like this:
Me- I give the visiting captain his options.
Player-We want to kick.
Me-Are you sure
Player-Yes
Me-Do you realize that you will be kicking off both halves?
Player-Coach said he wanted to kick.
Me-OK. I resume with the other options for the home team.
Teams go to sideline. The visiting coach hears the good news and looks at me and says, "DO YOU SEE WHAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERY WEEK?"
The coach and I had a good laugh. The home team was ranked in the top five in the country at that time so the outcome of the game was never in question.
