I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the scenario oc described is the "official" NCAA 2-person mechanic: as lead crosses for post play, trail also crosses. Not sure if this applies to NFHS, but I do know the FIBA 2-person is for the trail to stay put.
I personally don't see the advantage to the trail staying "diagonal" from the lead. If given the preference, I'd stay. My association does it this way. Most other associations I know of do it this way as well.
