Another 2-man mechanics question

The standard FED mechanics are as you ahve written -- it's the L's sideline and the L administers all the throw-ins there (even though teh L might become the T to do so).

Some, notably RefMag, recommend or suggest (I forget which word they used) that the T take the sideline above the FT line -- since the T is watching there, and the L isn't (or shouldn't), and the T will be well out on the court when the ball is near the far sideline, above the FT line.
