For what it's worth (2cents?) I haven't used the wheel in over 10 years, working NFHS, and never used it for USAV or Collegiate. What I found with the wheel is that I had to continually look at something other than the court to determine what would be correct, then look at the floor to see if things were correct, which took too much time. Now I can look at the court, there's my setter, there's my opposite, and those three players are back-row. That takes place in a glance. Prior to the match, I talk with the scorekeeper and let them know that I may ask for the prior three servers (in order) for team 1. That lets me check to see that the players on the court are in the proper order.

What it all means is that I can be more comfortable on the sideline and concentrate on the action. I can glance at serving side and get the backrow players, glance at the receiving side get backrow players, check for IA, and be ready, with just a glance, to assist R1 with BRA/BRB.
