Nah,I don't agree with that either. That means you now have got your back to the table instead of facing it.That also means that you can't see subs coming to the table,and you can't see TO requests either-without turning your back on the players on the court.Jmo,but you can keep that mechanic in NY.I'd rather take a quick glance over,than have to turn completely around and leave the actions of everybody on the floor to my partner.

Btw,the way you are doing it now is the mechanic that was used when I started out 45 years ago. We always "worked to our right" then,as a general rule of thumb. They changed the FT mechanic because they WANTED us to see subs coming to the table,as well as making sure that the coaches weren't jumping around on and putting on a show behind our backs.
