Message: [QUOTE="BlazeOrange, post: 1552297, member: 683"] It's not just about the opening possession, but all possessions in the half. There is a 50% chance that the team that starts with the ball will get one extra offensive series in the half (0% that the team beginning on defense will get an extra series). The decision is do you want to use that extra chance early and hopefully build an insurmountable lead, or save it for crunch time at the end of the game? Establishing momentum, springing game plan surprises, and/or making halftime adjustments are also involved in the decision, of course. [/QUOTE]
