Can somebody explain to me how this matchup thing works in reality?

For me, I'd simply give the requesting team a quick few seconds to match up. I've never had it come up, though.

When a team subs three or more player, the coach or captain (either the mute or speaking captain) can request a match-up; that is call out who they will guard and make sure everyone is accounted for. In over 8 years, I had my first match-up request this season. It was cool to grant.

There are a handful of middle school girls games where they match-up every single time they come out of a time-out or intermission. You could place the ball on the floor and start counting if you really wanted to, but in these games, they just wouldn't understand why. One might even pick up the ball and hand it to you ("you dropped this, sir").
