If the Lead and Trail tried to always stay on the "left" of the play, would that leave their partner in the cadillac for relatively long periods of time?

It was a two-whistle mechanic that left each partner looking to their right at the players.

...and the "thinking" behind it was that players, being more right handed than left handed, were more likely to drive down the right side of the lane. The "Cadillac" position always put the lead on that side...ready to observe that play.

So that's why I seldom got free throws. I'm left handed.
