This is a regular pre-game agenda item. Who takes the pass? And who takes the crash?
I'm not sure where I read the official textbook mechanic on this, but I think I've got it backwards. Usually what we come up with as a standard prior to any given game is for the L to stay with the dribbler/shooter and take the crash and the C to take the pass if it goes to his side, the T if it goes to his side.
Easy to state in theory. Difficult in practice. Maybe because it happens somewhat rarely.
Interested in others' insights on this one.
