I have been watching this thread for some time. I have been white-hatting in
various places and levels for 38 years, and I have never listed the options for
a captain. All it does is confuse the issue, particularly if you throw in
"kick."

I just tell them they have won the toss, and let them go from there. In my
younger days, I  worked with R's who would  list the options, and invariably it
came back to haunt them.
