This could be true MOST of the time...but what if your BC count is with your hand AWAY from the table? Don't you want your table side hand to do the BC count?
For example: if you were trail in the BC and handing (or bouncing) the ball to the player on the endline who was between you and the table...you would want to raise your closest hand to the player (and table) so that when you "chopped" in the time you would then have the closest hand to the table doing the counting.
Our State gave us a clinic on this, wanting us to use the closest hand to the table to do the BC count.
Just a thought...wouldn't want you to get "dinged" at your Districts.
