Question for him:
If you inbound the ball on the right side of the floor (facing the offense's end line), are you expected to cross over the floor during the live ball or do you just work the T from that side?
Cause Cadillac means you're expected to cross over at your first opportunity and the L will respond by crossing over as well.

A: We cross over the floor, though L always starts left in that situation. Conversely, if the throw-in is frontcourt sideline left, the L starts positioned on his right (i.e. strong side....just like in 3-p). I suppose that latter part is a slight modification to the Cadillac of old. All in all, however, the way we do 2-p helps give our new officials a feel for rotations so that the switch to 3-p mechanics later comes more naturally.
