Maybe it will dwan on him then.
It should at least dawn on the coahces at that point and he may have to admit his confusion.

Unfortunately, this mistake makes both officials look bad. Should the new Lead stand by the "correct" baseline, see the teams go the other way, then whistle? Or silently disagree(after partner discussion) and go to the incorrect baseline, which implies agreement to all attending?
Personally, I would explain his mistake to him, loudly tell both teams while pointing "White, this way" then go to the correct baseline...
