Sleeve side Sasae

Technique

In RvR, people usually go for lapel side Sasae but I am wondering how viable going the other way is.

I don’t often use it, but I recall being taught to Sasae people into a hunched posture and then hitting a leggy throw like Uchi-Mata, Ashi Guruma or Tai Otoshi while they’re stumbling down. Has anyone else tried this?

Now I haven’t tried it for myself, but is Ko-Soto/left Sasae a good pairing in the same way O-Soto/right Sasae is? I am curious to play around.
