One and one signal

I know I've been the Trail quite often and the Lead is the one who alerted me to the fact there is a sub at the table.

Exactly. I won't bring the sub in, but I'll call out my partner's name and alert him so he can bring the sub in. I'm standing in the middle of the lane with the ball -- what else is going to happen at that particular moment? I always take a glance.

Yep, me too.

I also tell throwers-in what type of throw-in it is, a backcourt or frontcourt throw-in, and after a timeout, an end line or spot throw-in.

Just like the NBA, FIBA does not allow frontcourt throw-ins to be thrown into the backcourt (save for the final two minutes of the 4th/OT in the NBA).

Ah. Thanks, all.
