Coin flip mechanics

[mcrowder]

Honestly, for varsity games, almost always the flip is done BEFORE the meeting at midfield, and everything determined then ... the meeting is a formality for show, and only R and U are there.

For Sub-V - we usually have the R, U, and L there. H is usually rounding up a chain crew and teaching them what to do... if he's got that handled already, he may or may not be there for the flip. (And for 7th and below, we often have coaches there, just within earshot, in case a kid's going to screw it up.)
