Natsuhi actually appears now and then to look at their training. Also in volume 12 by the request of Subaru he helped a great deal by mimicking some moves that Rena did to beat Tsubahi at the arcade centre and used them against Subaru (although Natsuhi only managed to pull of the between the leg passing move once), which made it possible for Subaru to draw up his plan to beat Rena. As for what he thinks about Subaru coaching his sisters - he actually doesn't mind so much because Tsubahi are little devils which even their parents couldn't handle so he doesn't think Subaru could take advantage of them at all, and because Tsubahi are really big brother-cons Natsuhi sometimes think they are a bit of a bother. I think Natsuhi is really only concerned about Hinata that's all.

So Tsubahi is RKB's version of Fred and George Weasley from the Harry Potter series, huh?

Well, that doesn't go without saying that Natsuhi has actually warmed up to Subaru after that "return Hinata's pantsu" mission.

Spoiler:

The line up and name is confirmed in volume 12
SF(SG) - Aida Miyu #4
C - Tsukada Kumi #5
PG - Koumoto Misuzu #6
SG(SF) - Ya Hagiran #7
PF - Tachibana Momoe #8

While Miyu and Hagiran's position aren't mentioned so I put in the other possible position in brackets, but the other 3 members are mentioned and specific. I suppose with the way Miyu plays and the author mentioning that the PF's job is to follow up on Miyu Miyu's natural position would be the SF. In fact if you recall the first time Miyu mentioned that she worked hard to overcome her height deficiency with true skill to get her position and that SF being the position where height would actually matter more it is more fitting of why she would have said such a thing.

So this team reminds me of the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers, and Miyu and Rena both reminded me of Allen Iverson, one of the great NBA players of his time who could have gotten a championship ring if he had a positive attitude towards practice and training.
