When L and T cross for reporting a foul

[packersowner]

All joking aside, in two man I prefer a opposite side L goes around the players instead of through the lane. This allows the table side T to come towards the lane and hopefully keeps all 10 players between us. IAABO has a pretty good picture of this in their official manual. I also find that if you go inside, you're more likely to report outside the normal reporting area. Not a big deal to most, but something I have recently seen published about following the reporting area guidelines.

In three man, is probably less important because you still have 2 sets of eyes on the players especially when the L is opposite the table. In this case your T more than likely has a good view of the court, while the C is moving into position.
