In all the times I've gone ballside, I have had maybe one or two times where the open sideline became an issue. Almost anytime the ball goes out that side, even rotated ballside, the lead will be able to tell who the all when out on while rotating back.
As far as who has the weak side in this situation if there's a competitive match up, the trail has to pick this up. I tend to pregame that the trail will move toward the center of the court to help pick up off ball action. This is why it's important to have a pregame before you use this mechanic. Again, 2-man is all about compromise and this mechanic is one of them. Most of your action and fouls are going to happen ball side, especially if there's post action.
