I remember some youth hockey coaches who had that problem...they just couldn’t think about both the game as well as which line had just played.
Of course I am only half serious, as I am sure Coach K knows exactly who he is playing and when. But i do wonder if the absence of two coaches meant that Coach K had to multi-task more than usual.
