Take a look at diagram 10 on page 25 of the new Officials' manual.
Of course, your local area may frown upon this, but it is an accepted NFHS mechanic.

Nevadaref,
YU.P.
A few folks in our area have been working strong-side Lead for a few years.
I find it particularly useful during low Trail-side throw-ins. I'm strong-side and quite wide with focus on the paint.
When I turn to the ball at strong-side low, my partner will yield the ball and take the paint. And yeah, a skip pass makes you move.

I was encouraged to try going strong side at a camp I attended this summer. However, most of the specifics about the L going strong side were in the context of 3 whistle (we spent equal time doing 2 and 3 whistle, however most of us needed more instruction in 3 whistle, so that's where they did the most teaching).

So...would you mind giving a quick lesson in the details of the L going strong side in 2 whistle.

Just as an example, you mention turning to the ball and the T yielding and taking the paint. This begs all kinds of questions about how long you stay strong side and what you watch when you're there.

Perhaps if you, or anybody, would talk about:
* When do you come strong side?
* What are you watching for when you're there?
* How does being strong side change your area?
* When do you return to your original side?
* How does all of this affect the T?
