I've never had to use a coion, but in case I'll have to got to use one I think I prefer a "Gulden". That's the old dutch coin before we started using the Euro. I guess a "Gulden" has to be something like $0,60?

On the other hand, Sonny Pompillii bought me one off his personal made coins... I could use that one too...

Every so often, I would like to flip Sonny.

That'd be a sight to see.

Speaking of coin tosses...

Never thought I'd write about it, but...

"Okay ladies, which of you travelled further?
Okay, team A, which one of you will call it?
Okay miss, what will you call?
Okay coach, home or away?"

Bull#@!!... that part of my pregame goes like this:
"You're heads, you're tails." flip, boom, let's play ball.

(oh, yeah, the winner does pick home or away)

I've done this all year, not one complaint yet.

Heck yeah! The first time I had a partner do it I was like, "Oh man why haven't I been doing this all along?" It went in my mental rolodex.

I don't understand the issue with just letting the kids go through their little ritual.

I rarely see kids at a plate meeting, so this is just a more efficient way of getting things done. Case in point, plate meetings so far this year, probably around 200 or so. Plate meetings where kids were present: 0. Usually I will get one or maybe two a year where there are kids present at a plate meeting.

As I wrote, never have to use a coin, however you started to make me think... (once in a lifetime )

The team that travelled further can't be playing "home", therefore skip that coin-thing.

"Okay coaches, team A has it's hometown closesedby, therefor they're playing home."
PlayBall!
