I always have to give myself a sanity check to make sure I am looking at the right team, especially during recruiting time when I have multiple windows open looking at different teams. If you change worlds in one window it will change for any other open windows (or tabs) and you won't actually notice any difference until you go to another page, or in your case submit a gameplan. The blessings of technology (and cookies!)
That would explain my situation!

Its nice to see I'm not the only one this has happened to
Here's what I do to get around this situation.  I have 3 teams but use the different mirror links for each team exclusively.  I also keep 3 tabs open, with each tab specifically reserved for a given team.

So Team A I use the whatifsports.com prefixes AND BOOKMARK the standings page for easy access.  For Team B, I use the wisjournal.com prefixes AND BOOKMARK the standings page for easy access.  For Team C, i use the whatif.cincinnati prefixes AND BOOKMARK the standings page for easy access.  All my Team A stuff is done on a certain tab, all Team B stuff is done on a different tab, and all Team C stuff is done on a different tab.  Plus, the bookmarks help keep things straight. 
This is what I do with the two id's I use.  I used to constantly log in and log out to switch between teams, but eventually realized how dumb that was.  +1 for the mirror sites!

A couple seasons ago, we had a couple weird late-game collapses.  Not until conf play did I realize it was because I had changed my sets two seasons ago but failed to change the late-game O/D to the normal O/D, oops.
I recently did the exact same thing with both my teams except the weird thing is for one of them I never changed the offense but the late game offensive settings were different from what I normally run. They really need one of those assistant coach emails about that like if you are running a set normally that you dont practice.
Exactly, an assistant coach email would be so useful!

For two id's, if you have multiple browsers installed, use a different browser for each ID.

I hope you sent a ticket to get him back.

A few years ago I had a buddy recruit for me when I was on vacation.  He ended up promising a bunch of minutes to players we would have got regardless.  I didn't explain the process to him and he wasn't a WIS member.  They ended up transferring and left me decimated.  I had to leave Puget Sound and start over somewhere else.

I think they have something like that but it might not be the first game.

My assistant coach has emailed me wondering why I'm practicing one kind of offense/defense and playing another.  I figure this is a lost season and I'm just doing my best to put a different offensive/defensive system while staying somewhat competitive.  Somehow my team isn't as bad as I thought even with 2 freshmen starting, 2 others getting 20 minutes and only 1 guy with a high enough rating to start on any of the NT caliber teams.

i dont have one nearly as bad as the OP, but i have sat around debating an offense change, and debating if i changed offenses, should i also change my team to play the new offense. after much debating i finally decided to switch and start playing teh new offense. but it took me about ten days to realize i forgot to change the practice plan! you do get a mail from the assistant, but i generally ignore mail and hadn't been checking in much :(
