So while it likely doesn't matter, you've got to make it a six point lead if given the opportunity. If the improbable happens, and they return the kick for a score and get the two point conversion and lead by three (instead of one), a coach will be raked over the coals for missing an obvious opportunity to increase his chances of winning. So while it probably doesn't matter, any time he can hedge against mass criticism, a coach must do it.
At least one person sees some of my reasoning. Lol.
