Been there, done that (turned my head).
Several years ago, 12U baseball game, 1 man mechanic, runners on first and second, one out, ground ball to F6 - routine DP. I am moving out on infield, trying to clear the pitcher for a view of 2B and I let go of F6. (Yeah, yeah, let the ball take you to the play, but I didn't.)
But guess what? F6 decides to go to 3B! By time I hear the commotion and look to 3B, the play is over. I quickly point to the 3B coach and say "your call!"
He signals out and I ring 'em up.
Lesson learned. Just because you know the game, don't assume that kids will make that play. Actually you have no clue what they might do. Better you keep your eye on them.
