I've had it happen with my partners on occasion. Not just necessarily where they are stuck in the A position but even a play at 3rd with them in the C and the runner is called out and they forget to move back to A. I had a partner not move in a college game last year and I just stood there and moved my head to remind him (3x). He didn't "get" my signal so I finally took my mask off and said "You gonna call from there?" Everyone laughed and no one seemed to have a problem. After the inning he said he just had a brain cramp - it can happen.
