For the pre-match coin toss, which statement is NOT true?

• A. Ask the team who drove farthest to call heads or tails.
• B. Select one of the captains to call heads or tails since it doesn't matter who calls the toss.
• C. Have the second referee conduct the coin toss.
• D. Assign each captain a side of the coin - neither calls the toss.

Answer: (C)

In this situation, the key idea is the pre-match coin toss procedure and who runs it. The official flips the coin and calls the result, and the team that traveled the farthest gets to call heads or tails. The captain who wins the toss then chooses either to serve or receive or to select a side, with the remaining option going to the other team. The person who conducts the toss is the first referee, not the second referee, so having the second referee perform the toss is not correct. The other statements align with the typical flow: the farthest team calls heads or tails, a captain is chosen to call, and typically one team gets first choice while the other gets the remaining option.
