This is 100% preventable every time if we do our job properly. And I say that even after I let it happen once this year (for the first time in about 5 years).

As for there being 6 and 4...it ain't never gonna happen, and it ain't worth worrying about. Count to 10 by 2's and get on with it.
I try to never say never and never say always. A distraction could cause a coach to forget his next line-up. We're all human and every one of us is capable of causing an error.

I'm used to football where I count 12 on each team, not 24 in total. I use to count 10, now I count 5+5. It takes no more time. To each their own.
