2 Man Coverage Areas

One of our CYO games was a forfeit since the opponent only had 4 players (out of a roster of 6) show up. So the gameitself was a forfeit and the teams decided to scrimmage during the time alloted for the game with the home team using one of it's 7th graders to give them 5 players.

As a reuslt, I got called into action to officiate. I was all set to do the game solor, but somebody joined in after the opening tip.

Granted, I do take pride in trying to be rules-knowledgable, but I'll admit my knowledge of mechanics stinks. As such, I do have a couple of questions:

1) In a two official game, is there a dual coverage area in the lane? I couldn't remeber and there were a couple of calls where I wasn't sure whose call it was to make so I deferred to my paretner in those cases.

2) On a front court throw in where one official is administering at the hash mark, should the other official be in the L or T position?

I know we botched a few switches when it came to free throws, but rather than make an issue out of it, I'd just reposition accordingly.

Partner did try to call a backcourt violation when the offensive team hadn't even crossed the time line Now that was unexpected.
