3-Man SNAFU

[ilyazhito]

What in the world is this? The R goes correctly to the trail position opposite the table, but the U2 fails to go to Lead, and remains as the "C". "Lead" then rotates over to the opposite side, which the Lead typically should do when the strong side moves to the other side. However, this situation results in 3 officials all on the same side of the court. Fortunately, there is an out of bounds call quickly afterwards, and the officials appear to align properly following the out of bounds call.

What would you have done if you saw that your partner failed to assume his correct position (e.g. the person who should be Lead remains at Center)? If you are Trail, do you go away from the side with the improper lead? If "Lead". do you move up to create a T-C*-C configuration, and hope that the C-who-should-be-Lead realizes his situation?
