Trail is table side is all that needs stating. We know where the L is going to be.

Yep, L could slide over; especially if the ball is in that corner. Although if he does, he's likely got his back to the 3 pt line.

If they want the L strongside, pay for the 3rd!

Disagree, but we've had this discussion before.

All 10 on that side, you still standing weakside? I don't work much 2 person, but that's a bunch for your trail to deal with solo.

Not true as this is a mechanic, not about who pays for the officials which in at least my case have nothing to do with each other.

Aren't you the one that always preaches the crew needs to get the call right?

Its optional here, well, at least in the 2 person games I work it is.

I dont "preach" anything & I dont work many 2 person games either.
Pinching the paint provides a great look AND you are that much closer to your sideline responsibilities.

If you disagree with the option in general, that's one thing. But to refuse to cross simply because you want a third official (which is what your statement implies) is purposefully giving them less effort than is required. And some games just don't need 3, which further goes against your point.

I don't cross as quickly as in 3, but if the action is all over there, I'm moving to get a better angle; especially if the T has to have eyes on the ball outside the paint.

Well that's the world I'm in and I'm not giving less than my best effort. They want us flexing strong side here when we can.

You more certainly implied it.

I did not say it was mandatory or you would lose all games if you did not use it. And considering that 2 Person is only really worked at the lower level, then this is mostly a non-issue when it really counts.

Well I am in a training capacity so we teach this as an option. If someone chooses not to do it, no one is going to be upset about it. It is used and usually very rare.
