I've seen more situations of game management having problems in 3 years of volleyball than 5 years of basketball.

I had a MS Girls game last year where we were away. I have our A & B rosters pre-printed out so I can hand a copy to the home scorer and let them copy it as I get their line up. Well, at this game, the home coach has the book in his hand and spends most of the warmup time socializing with the officials. Right before game time, he expects me to copy our full A & B rosters in
his book. Needless to say, I said no. Why I should do his work if he's gonna waste his time? :P

As for today, sure enough, the home team only had sheets for their team. Luckily, I was prepared. Aside from having a timer who seemed to dislike blowing the horn for subs, and some issues with the officials mixing up the AP arrow, everything went smoothly otherwise.

And SCal, I agree. At our first home game, I reminded our timer (PE teacher that has done it all 3 years I've been at this school) about the revised horns for timeouts/foul-out replacements and the new rule on throw-ins, so we could both be on the same page. The key is to have two knowledgeable people who can back each other up.
