Yup. Next year the AFC *and* the NFC will both have a 50% chance of wining that same coin toss...

The AP arrow is the best rule change in the last 30 years. I remember doing VG games in the 70s. Not only were there multiple held balls immediately after a jump ball, but you had to choose which two of the 8 players with their hands on the ball were the first two there. It made long games longer.

Yep, that means that every year for the last 11 SB's the home and away team have alternated winning the toss..

Certainly, I do not want to go back to all those jump balls. In fact, when I started, we had one after every basket. I asked Dr. Naismith if he wanted to change that but he said no.

Like the double-headed 1922 Peace Dollar trademark coin used by Harvey Dent/Two-Face in the Batman flick, "The Dark Knight", which he flips when making important decisions?

Use only as directed.
Is that anything like Burke's Law?

If I were to consider any change in the held ball rule, I'd award the ball to the defensive player's team for a throw-in in order to reward the defense.
This would not be the case on rebounds that were joint possession before either team could get possession. In this case I'd go with the AP. Thank the Lord that we have AP instead of jump balls. And we all know it came about because of girls BB. |

All models over 18 years of age.
At least NFC captains don't call, "Heads, tails", like a Pittsburgh captain did a few years ago, which caused the creation of new rules and mechanics for NFL coin tosses.
