T…not so much. T's home base is left, but he's all over the place and when L rotates over right, T moves above the key to view the weak side.

That's what I meant earlier, too. There's nothing about the Cadillac aspects that even remotely helps. In 2 man, I move ball side a lot.

My issue with Cadillac, and it came back to me as I was watching the video Rich posted, is that the official spends way too much mental energy looking for an opportunity to cross the court, and then puts himself into an awkward position while crossing the court.

I noticed in the video they would start in positions that were not ideal just to facilitate the Cadillac moves later.

Some guys didn't mind working opposite and took forever to move over, and others hated working opposite and couldn't wait to move over.

Precisely. That's just working 2-person effectively. I was fortunate to have trainers when I started out that really emphasized that the T went where he needed to see the action and that the L should not be afraid to flex over and rotate when needed. It does make adapting to 3-person mechanics easier and that has nothing to do with working Cadillac (which just sounds awful).
