Even that part is not necessarily correct.

While that is one common convention, it is not the only convention and has at least one scenario where it fails badly.

(Assuming 2-man) The other convention is that the Lead and Trail split the play based on proximity....pass to leads side, lead takes the pass; pass to trail's side, trail takes the pass. The other takes the crash. That way, you don't have the trail following a pass into an area of the court that they can't possibly see.
