Miscommunication

In high school, the biggest example of miscommunication I remember was in the state championship game in football. My friend was the receiver running in the play from the coach to the quarterback. Between the 15 seconds it took him to hear the play and dictate it to the quarterback, he forgot. Instead of admitting his mistake and going back to the coach to fix it, he decided to make it up. Well, as you could imagine, the play went horribly wrong. I've never seen a grown man so upset in my life. My friend didn't see the field the rest of the game. It could have been easily prevented had he just admitted that he forgot the play. Lesson learned.
