Coverage will give you a trip from the "coverage pot"--matched to an AWARD bid you have, if possible, without regard to any restrictive bids (AVOID, PREFER OFF, etc.). In this case, it gave you a trip that matched your line 37 bid. Only then did it run your full bid, with the coverage award essentially acting as a pre-award. With that coverage trip in place, you couldn't get line 8 due to the conflict.

Hypothetical example: your line 8 was for a trip that ran Wed - Fri of a particular week. Coverage was activated for the weekend days at the end of that same week, and all the trips still in the pot started on Fri. You get the coverage trip starting on Fri, and therefore cannot get the W-F trip. Again, pure speculation without knowing your specifics.
