Larry Fedora on Winning the Coin Toss

Posted Nov 16, 2015
No. 12 UNC has won the coin toss in eight of its 10 games in 2015, and each time Larry Fedora has elected to defer his choice to the second half. By deferring UNC’s option, the opposing team is allowed to choose whether it kicks or receives to open the game, and UNC is allowed to choose which end zone its defending. The latter point is critical in the decision-making process, according to Fedora. (Inside Carolina)
