Which Side of the Lane Line?

As I said, I only had once in my career a request after a ball was made on a FT. I honestly did not understand the request and would have been really confusing to my crew if I all of a sudden switched sides of the lane. And the coach and player never made it clear what they wanted to do. They ask the question as if I was preventing them from running to the other side of the lane, which I was not.

If the requests are made before the timeout is started, I might consider such movement, but not when we are already ready to go.

Again, I am still waiting for that request that I have to be concerned with in the first place. I just do not see this ever become an issue either way. My situation happen over 15 years ago. I have worked a lot of games since then, if this was a problem or an issue, I would think someone else would make such a request, but they haven't.

Peace
