NC had the same problem. To add to the "coaches had to agree" issue, the officials were not permitted to broach the subject, we had to wait for one to mention it and then shuffle over to the other one and get his opinion.
One, usually the one kicking butt at halftime, would ask "are you gonna run it?"
Us- "Dunno Coach, we gotta go ask him now and get back to you on it."
Sometimes the coach behind will normally say something like "you're gonna run it, aren't you?" Us- "if you say it's ok we will". Him-"let's get the #€\\ outta here".
Starting this season it will be automatic at any point after halftime with a 42 pt differential.
