Are ball-side mechanics not used in your area for two-whistle mechanics?

Does it dictate to be on the strong side at all times?

I took your "at all costs" comment to mean avoid using it at all costs.

What I meant was, if you do go ball side, you must be prepared to get back to your sideline in time to make a call there.

In your area does the Lead routinely make calls across the paint?

I wouldn't say routinely, but it happens on occasion.
