I do and I don't. I was taught to do it in Colorado. In Texas, I have been taught not to. If I am working with a partner who is comfortible with the mechanic then I do it. If I work with a partner who isn't then I won't. After working three man games, I am more comfortible with going strong side.
When I call a game where we are not going strong side, then the leads floor ends at the oposite free throw lane line. This means, I am expecting the trail to pick up any action away from the lead on the baseline.
