Choosing to defer means you are letting the other team pick first and you'll choose in the second half.
Teams have screwed up and chose to kick to start the game and had to kickoff again in the second half. This is kind of like the whole "I didn't know a game could end in a tie" thing. It happens, not often, but it happens.
