Yes, both officials lined up correctly and pointed the right way. I told our inbounder that if the official said anything to just say "We know".

We have one local team who regularly, after a timeout, will instruct their players to go to the incorrect end of the court so as to provide for an easy layup score. As I see it, we are responsible for giving a clear signal regarding the direction for the inbounds play, but are under no obligation to "give away the tactic" by stopping the whole thing and instructing the other team to get themselves on the correct end of the court.

Adroit tactic? Or making a travesty of the game? We've opted for the former.

Works for them more often than not.
