I did Cadillac when I first started officiating back in the early 90s. My point is that there's nothing magical about being on the left side vs the right side. It's an antiquated mechanic that has no benefit, because you could just as easily be on the wrong side as the right side (50% odds).

If lead is active and going ball side, that's all that matters. Having trail always working with the players on his right doesn't do anything. All of the benefits of going ball side can be gained without the drawbacks of having to force a transitioning trail to cross the court.
