If you tell the coach beforehand, at least everything is above-board in appearance AND reality.

Odds are slim, but I personally think it's not a bad idea to bring this up before the game for other reasons; mainly personal integrity.

Only, however, if you have the chance for a casual conversation before the game. If you don't get that, and your situation comes up; simply tell the coach he was right last year.
