Not so heavenly when you screwed up and forgot to bring a coin out with you. I hated that rule and was glad when they got rid of it. Girls were capable of starting the game with a jump ball in 49 other states, why not Iowa? I like the jump ball to start the game, I think it lends a certain degree of anticipation to the game. The old coin toss really created problems when the Iowa girls would play an Illinois team. I live right on the Iowa/Illinois border and those games were humorous, watching the Iowa girls trying to figure out how to set up for the jump ball if I was working in Illinois, or the look of disbelief on the faces of the Illinois girls when we did the coin flip in pregame in Iowa.
