What would it take for a double T on a 13 year old boy?

Mechanically, my partner and I administered the FTs backwards...this is 2 person...and instead of being at the normal trail location I was near the division line, tableside.

Most of the players are at or near the division line while you shoot a T, so being high at trail makes observing them easier, and doing so from tableside puts you around 15 feet from the coach, a good range so that they feel you can hear them and close enough for you to deliver the seatbelt message without being right beside them.

It also puts you right there for when a table asks if that T counts as a team foul, which happens from time-to-time too.

And to show you we are on the same page...a first half T in 3 person, puts the trail right beside the coach that got banged...2nd half mechanically, you'd be beside the shooting teams coach.
