Miami blocks FG in OT, but the Miami coach called a last second TO....

"Icing the kicker" has been statistically debunked as a worthwhile strategy for a long time. Any coach who does it is a moron.
The "last second" icing is what really irritates me. And it's probably less effective. You've now given the snapper, holder and kicker a practice kick.
Plus you look like a total moron when they miss the first one and make the second one.
I don't have a problem with the old-fashioned version to make the kicker think about it for a few more minutes. That's similar to icing a free throw shooter, which is done all the time.

I saw it work once, but only because it had been off-and-on rainy all day and the coach called the TO when there was only a light drizzle. It turned into a downpour again when it came time for the kick.
