Rotating as Lead in 2 Man?

We've been doing this a long time. Several years ago, I forgot that I had rotated ball side. There was a turnover, and I started running up the court as the new trail to only discover that the new lead and I were both on the same side of the basket line. Very embarrassing.

Also. What's three person? We've never heard of that here in the "Land That Time Forgot", also known as Connecticut.

I didn't discover the error until we were comfortably in our half court set. I looked ahead, and there he was.

I pregame this, to have the lead go ahead and rotate over. Far easier, IMO, than having the trail try to find a chance to rotate; and less obvious to the untrained eyes that wander the coaching boxes.
