One comment, one question.

First of all, I like the new line-up. I seem to be the only one, but we've had a week now of using it, and I think it accomplishes the purposes, as I understand them. Defense is getting quite a few more rebounds, and especially the less skilled teams when playing against better teams. Also, the shooter isn't getting jostled around as much. I've done some JV girls, Var girls, and JV boys, and I like it.

Of course, it takes some explaining. Everyone keeps thinking we should be clearing the bottom slots, next to the basket. And I had one coach get sort of snippy about it. But basically, it's been good.

Now the question. If Team B chooses not to occupy one or both of the slots that are now the closest allowed to the shooter, can A take them? I've been holding them empty, thinking I'd heard that somewhere, but I had a couple of doubting looks from dubious players.
