I used to ask the captain/coach to call it in the air. I no longer do, after a small fiasco where both captains on a team called it and all I heard was "Teds". Or maybe "Hails". I don't know.

Me: "Captain/Coach, I would like you to call the flip: heads or tails?"
Me, confirming: "Heads?"
Me: "Heads is the call, and we have..." [flip] "...tails. Coach, you have the option."
