Suggested Coin Flip Procedure ...
To start the game, the ball shall be put in play by a throw in by the team that wins the coin toss between opposing captains at the pregame coaches/captains/officials conference. The referee will toss the coin. The home captain will call either heads, or tails, while the tossed coin is in the air. The referee will provide the coin for the coin toss. This coin must be legal tender in the United States (having an easily identified head, and tail), and that it's face value be at least one United States cent. The losing captain of the coin toss shall be allowed to keep the coin, thus insuring that all parties leave the pregame coaches/captains/officials conference happy. It is considered unsporting, and must be penalized with a technical foul, charged to the home team captain, for said captain to call, "Heads I win. Tails you lose", or any variation of said call.

Team Control ...
Quote:
Who's the "other" team? No team control if it's a try. What if it's not a try, but a deflected pass? Touched last?

Back Off The Circle ...
Quote:
After having a few officials calling this a violation, I always quietly and politely told both officials before every game that we were going to do this and reminded them that it was legal for players to back off the circle at any time, before, during, or after the toss. "Hold your spots"? No such rule for everybody.

Misty Watercolor Memories Of The Way We Were ...

Me too. I know that I should know the jump ball rules better, but I figure why bother for a play that only happens once (usually) per game; lasts only a split second; rules that basically might as well be in "Greek" to players, coaches, and fans; and that usually goes "smoothly" 95% of the time. I've got bigger fish to fry. ... Yeah, like give the ball to the road team.

Excitement ...
Good point, never thought of that. Still didn't change my mind. But again, it's a great rationale for retaining the jump ball.
I've got my first COVID-19 game tomorrow. Some schools, no spectators. Others, one parent per player. Many others, two parents per player. Only a few, up to a family of four per player. Yawn. Really cuts down my chances of meeting hot single Moms. Too bad, I look a lot more handsome wearing a mask.
