When something odd like this does happen, it's usually the coaches, or fans, that do the math, showing all work, first, and they're usually not too shy about letting us know. How fast can you count up to six?

It's true... no matter how much we prepare things are going to happen. But, in this case, it looks like proper preparation could have prevented this issue.
