DTTB,
That's what I was getting at. People are talking about the L standing underneath the A's basket when T is at half court administering the throw-in, and 8 of the players are under B's basket. Right now we've got 8 players with no immediate supervision.
Boxing the players would require standing, at least, at the free throw extended of B's basket, an odd place for the L to be when you're heading the other way. I'm trying to figure out the proper positioning mechanic for this. Right now I'm thinking the L should actually be positioned at roughly half court on this play.
