Yes, my HS games are 100% 2-man. But even in 2-man, Why? It reduces your vision of the court. To cover the throw in from such a position, you can no longer see out into the court as much, you've closed off your field of vision from such a position. From a position OOB and more towards the backcourt from thrower you can see a lot more of the court than if you are inbounds. I'd say that it is even more important to be OOB in 2-man since you are responsible for more of the court.
