When the ball is at the far sideline...whether it is in the trails primary or not, that will put the trail near the center of the court. It means that the lead will cross the paint when the ball is at the far sideline. It works 100% of the time when the ball is in your primary and works 99% of the time when it is not. Of course, you can certainly move closer than 1/2 the court width when the ball is on your side.
I admire the simplicity of your math
