[Back In The Saddle]

Soph match this week. I'm the U and while checking the lineups (what is the proper terminology for making sure the players on the floor match the lineup?) before the first game, the girls are way out of rotation. I grab the written lineup, because suddenly I don't trust that I copied it correctly onto my card. I copied it correctly. The girls are just not where they should be.

It turns out the coach copied her lineup backwards. She quietly inquired if she could change it. I told her that we have to go with what she submitted.

Needless to say, the girls had some trouble adjusting to being backwards. Since it was only a soph game, and since it was the coaches screwup, I did work a little harder to fix obvious overlaps before the serve during the first few rotations.

Would you have handled this any differently?
