It's also better (imho) to have the C take the last second shot in the event of a quick turn-over. If T&L are opposite the table, then you could have T making a call on a shot from a long way away.

The "lock-down" doesn't prevent the L from coming over -- it just means that C will still be C if the ball goes the other way, and old-L / new T will cross back over.
