Had a game earlier this year involving a prep academy playing only their second year of varsity games. We asked coach what he would like to do if they win the toss and he said "kick". I asked to verify he wants to kick and he says yes. I then ask if he wants to kick in both halves and he said, "no. If we kick in the first half then we get the ball first in the second half." I said "if you want the ball in the second half you need to defer your choice to the second half." His response, "ok...is that a new rule"?
This is the same coach who was stunned (in game 5) that he couldn't line up #42 at RG and #81 at LT on regular scrimmage plays. Fortunately his opponent was fine with it since he knew they were short on players. They did an onside kick to start the game and recovered it! The game was postponed after 6 plays due to lightening.
