Quote:
At the start of the set, the players are checked on the floor they are instead in the order 1,2,3,4,5,6. All the correct players are on the floor; no player listed is on the bench. They are simply in the incorrect order.
Coach then claims that he wrote his line-up incorrectly and wants to change it.
Which of these is correct?

In this situation, the Coach may not change his line-up. He must place the players in the proper order on the court according to the line-up submitted. He may, however, make a substitution to change any of the players on the court before play begins.
The line-up change with a penalty point awarded is in case the line-up contains a player number that is not present on the bench or floor, but the correction does not count as one of the 18 allowed substitutions.
If the coach has a player on the court that is not on the line-up, he may either put the correct player on the court or use a substitution to use the player that is already on the court.
The volleyball casebook and manual covers all of these situations.
