Sorry, I don't believe in punishing teams this way unless that's what they really want.
In Jr high, Frosh, or JV, sure. We do everything we can to help. In Varsity, we expect more from them. Besides, I thought asking him three times--once after asking him to think , and once more with emphasis on defer or receive--would make it obvious the choice to kick was a dumb one.
At any level, I don't think it is inappropriate to say, "if you elect to kick, you will be kicking both halves." Plus, if they elect to kick, the other team also dictates which way they will kick, cuz they will say, "we will defend this goal." Talk about taking it in the shorts.
