OverAndBack, I think Dan and Chuck have given excellent responses for what you do during the FT. I would add this: in 2-man, under federation mechanics, the lead is looking at the two defensive players on opposite sides of the lane in the bottom (closest to the basket) lane spaces plus all the other players on the opposite side of the lane from the lead; the trail is looking at the one or two (if any) players on the opposite side of the lane from the trail, plus the free throw shooter.

Dan, I don't see the inconsistency with what Chuck said. He counts with the hand away from the shooter (and closest to the table), then raises that same hand on the shot's release and chops with that same hand when appropriate if the shot is missed. That is, the "one away from the shooter" is always the same that is "closest to the table." No?
