Pregame meeting and aftermath

Girls varsity game, as a crew we agree if there is half court traps at the division line on C's sideline, we are making an automatic rotation to put the C as the new trail.

Second quarter, we've been seeing half court traps all night and we're holding true to the pregame.

The R for the game is the C and a trap comes to his side, division line. I'm the L, so I move over quickly across the lane. Now he should be the L. There a good trap up there, and I have no action really in front of me (couple of players but no one is doing much of anything), the ball gets tipped and then stolen. The new Trail doesn't realize he's the new lead.

I'm hauling *** up the court yelling at him,"keep moving (insert name), keep moving (insert name)." He doesn't, and the opposite C for whatever reason goes to the new lead position. So we're screwed. We got an L on the opposite side, a C and Trail on the same side. I'm the only one who is where they should be.

At halftime the R tells me let's try to just "fill in" if that happens again and don't yell to someone that they should keep going cause now everyone knows we screwed up.

Help please...how could I have handled better. I can think of no way for me to "fill in".
