The first version handed you replies with no prompts, which is unjudgeable. Each card
below is the whole exchange — what she's asked, what she does, and the line that comes back.
Green is what needs re-drafting. Grey dashed boxes are the
pieces that do not exist yet — those come from the voice kit in the other brief, and seeing where they
land is the point of showing them.
Two different shapes. The Whiteboard is a diagram, so the
exchange is task → her placement → feedback. The Thread is a chat, so it is
message → her call → reaction → explanation. Same job, different furniture.
The Whiteboard · after a miss
She is placing teammates on a court and drops one in the wrong zone. Seven lines cover
forty-two uses — each is reused across all six rotations of its phase, so re-draft once.

The app asks
Where does everyone stand in Rotation 1? Base spots, before our serve
She does this
Puts Madison in back-right— and taps Check
It tells her
The middle never plays back row on this card — the libero covers that slot. Dropping M behind the attack line is the error the whole substitution exists to prevent.

Puts Sammie in front-left— and taps Check
It tells her
The mirror. Sammie is never in the front row, in any rotation, in any phase.

Puts Annaliese in front-middle— and taps Check
It tells her
Annaliese sets from the back row every rotation. If she is drawn front row here, the diagram has been read as a 5-1.

The app asks
Where does everyone stand in Rotation 1? Shifted to pass their serve
She does this
Puts OH in front-right— and taps Check
It tells her
In receive the outside pulls BACK to pass rather than staying up at the net. Leaving her front-right is the most common misread of an overload.

The app asks

Puts Sammie in back-middle— and taps Check
It tells her
Sammie holds left of the setter in receive, not behind her.

The Whiteboard · Ball's live · line 6
reused ×6
The app asks
Where does everyone stand in Rotation 1? Where you go once it's in play
She does this
Puts Sammie in back-middle— and taps Check
It tells her
Defense drops the libero to back-LEFT, not back-middle. It is the one thing that changes from the serve picture, and it is the whole point of the diagram.

The Whiteboard · Ball's live · line 7

The app asks
Where does everyone stand in Rotation 1? Where you go once it's in play
She does this
Puts Ellie in front-left— and taps Check
It tells her
The right side plays front-RIGHT on defense. Front-left is her serve-phase spot.

The Thread · on reveal
A teammate sends a lineup and she calls it. The highlighted zones are what is wrong with
the picture — she does not see that highlight, it is here so you can see what she is looking at.

Then explains
Annaliese (S) up at front-middle and both outsides side by side in the back looks like somebody scrambled it. It is correct — this is the receive overload, where the outside pulls back to pass and the setter steps up to take the ball.

Sammie (L) at back-middle rather than back-right. In the base rotation she is back-right; in receive she sits below the pulled-back right side. Both are correct, at different moments.

The same overload as rotation 2, and it reads wrong for the same reason. Calling this one broken means the base rotation has been learned and the passing shift has not — which is a more useful thing to find out than a right answer.
