We follow the book in my area. So for a frontcourt throw in, you will either remain as lead and bounce the ball to the sideline thrower (if below FT line extended) or you will move to trail and your parter will shift down to lead (if the free throw is above the FT line as in Diagram 2-10). The Trail would only switch sides of the court to administer the throw-in if the ball was out of bounds for a backcourt throw in.

If you're following the book, this is not correct. T administers all sideline throw-ins in 2-man going by strict NFHS mechanics.
