if in trail 2 man, or c 3 man, you usually turn at an angle towards the basket especially in 3 man... so if on the left end of the court(to the left of the table as you are looking at it) the hand away from the shooter is the left hand, count with that one and raise that hand when getting ready to chop in time... if you raise your right arm on the left end of the court, you will block your vision of the players to your right and could miss something that you would normally of seen without your arm up!!! Just something that they went over at college camp this summer! Some may do it differently, but it made alot of sense to me!

Same thing goes when throwing the ball in, if on the left of the inbounder use your left arm, if on their right use your right arm to chop, all for same reason, arm gets in the way and you can't see everything you should be looking at!!!!
