Thanks zebraman...also, are you going to one of the "big shows" this year?
If so, which one?

Articulate? I hope that was nice. More than 3 syllables and my public schools training is overwhelmed.

I'll end up at boys 4A, 3A or 2A depending on how some chips fall. How about you. Tell Vince I said hello OK?

I have seen several college games where the T "split the floor". I've also worked with guys who call college games that use the mechanic in high school.
I recently decided during the second half of a blowout game to try to "split" myself. About the third time down the floor, A1 made a long skip pass to A2, who started a dribble down the sideline.
Coach B jumped up and yelled, "He stepped on the line". I know the dribbler was close, but from my position I couldn't see if he actually was out of bounds.
At other times, I felt like the umpire in a football game. I had the constant fear of a steal and transition that left me in the way.
I didn't see the advantage, and I personally like the mechanic zebraman described better.

I'm leaning toward the boys 1A...and I'll tell Vince Hi from one of the West side big dogs.
