Timing, and egregiousness.

In the earlier event, the team was in rotation 4 (setter in LF). The setter started out just slightly to the right of the CF (which I would have ignored / told the coach to correct on the next point) but then also left early so she was nearly / completely to the right of RF. I thought I had to get this, so I did.

In the latter, it was a sub (game interruption) after the opposing team had scored a few points and the opposite had made a few mistakes. This wasn't part of the team's usual sub pattern -- someone who hadn't played at all in the match was coming in to replace someone who had played every point. Given the nature of this sub, I thought it best to at least get them started in the right spot.

Willing to hear other opinions on this.
