Exactly...which is why the standard rule is to call it in the air.  If you call it in the air AFTER I flip it, I can no longer control its rotation.  I'm not saying it's a 100% thing or that the nfl is doing it, but the NFL uses a big ol' not real "coin" that isn't going to rotate like a penny flipped off your thumb with authority.  The less it flips the less chance is involved and the more control the "flipper" has over it's outcome.  Add that to the flipper knowing what the desired outcome is, and you have reduced randomness.
