Lens is mounted on the bracket and the bracket is mounted on the monopod.
Yep. The bracket mount attaches between the lens ring and the monopod.

I use a Bogen superclamp and an umbrella mount to mount my flash under the camera on a monopod, but I'm liking the look of the 233B shown above. I do like the fact that when mounted under the camera the flash is able to light up the faces, but I hate the weird shadow it casts behind the player.
Yep, that's exactly why I switched from the SuperClamp mounted below to the Monfrotto bracket mounted above... when mounted below, you get massive Monster Shadows... I'm amazed how far they cast onto the stands, the crowd, trees, buildings in the background etc.
A couple of things I liked better about mounting below... you get up under the facemask and lower center of gravity.
But mounted up high you have further reach, the lighting is more natural coming from above like the field lights (or the sun if it was daytime), the shadows are more natural and are cast to the ground.
When I hand-hold (in the vertical-portrait orientation) instead of using the monopod, I mount the bracket to the 1D2 and straighten the Manfrotto so it's one long bracket (instead of the 90-degree bend L- shape)... this also give me another few inches of flash height.
