I am a very active lead when working 2 whistle, and I think going ball side as a lead is very important for proper coverage, especially when you have a fronting situation or if the ball drops below FT extended. T has to cover ball when the ball is in the corner and can't officiate ball and strong side post effectively at the same time. As L on the opposite side, you have a terrible look at the post play from weak side, and moving strong side gives you the best possible look at your first competitive match-up on the post and a good look also at any cutters or screens. So I say if you're doing 2 person in a competitive game, L has to go strong side to ensure effective coverage.
