No, that is not Cadillac.
In the ancient days of two-man mechanics, when the team shooting at the basket to the right of the scorer's table had the ball, the L would be table-side and the T would be opposite the table and when the team shooting at the basket to the left of the scorer's table had the ball, the T would be table-side and the L would be opposite the table: This was called Cadillac (also call right-handed mechanics) whenever a throw-in (or a jump ball) required the officials to officiate using left-handed (opposite of Cadillac) mechanics the T would iniate a switch once all ten (10) players where in the front court and the ball was in the mid-court (look up that definition in your Funk & Wagnals,
) area. In either case, court coverage in the front court was defined by the Block and L.
