I think part of the confusion has to do with the position for the tip, relative to the position for the warm up.

U1 chops the clock from the left of the table (when facing the table). For whatever reason, some can't get it through their minds that this might mean U1 and U2 have to "cross" from their positions during the warmup.

They are okay if the home team bench is to the right (when facing) of the table. Then, U1 starts and stays on the left half of the court. But, if the home team bench is to the left of the table, they get all confused.
