Would any of you think it would be more advantageous for the shooter to be able to whack the ball off the rim and retrieve his/her own rebound with having the top lane spots open? I'm not sure I'm convinced there's a distinct advantage here, but I suppose I could be.

Danvrapp,
From observing the team camps this summer, it is my opinion that the second spot (offense) gains an additional advantage due to more freedom of movement (
less crowding) and that advantage will remain in place until the players can 'go' on the release or until the first spot is vacated.
