Bob, I agree wholeheartedly with the advice that you have been given. The easiest thing to do is to begin to wean yourself away from depending on the wheel to check rotations. As Felix indicated, in USAV we are not allowed to use line-up tracking aids (although as an R2, I can lay both team's line-up sheets on the water barrel in front of me so that I can take a quick glance if I really need to check and see where someone is supposed to be or if I forget which serving rotation we are in).
Look at the things you learned by having to work solo and, then, see where any of it may be beneficial for working with a partner.
How did the coaches react throughout the varsity match and afterwards? Did you get any feedback from them concerning your solo effort? To me, it sounds as though you did a great job for being placed in a very tough situation.
