ESPN's by no means the most trustworthy source in the world, but I have trouble believing that they would just make that coin toss transcript up, and it definitely seems to suggest Slater thought he was confused about what he was selecting. My guess would be that the coaching staff covered a misque up; kicking the ball in overtime on a day like that doesn't seem like an intentional choice anyone would make. |
It's possible, but BB's doubled-down on it in the post-game interview. Said there was no confusion, they wanted to kick.
