Actually I disagree. Here's why. In the old three man, if the calling official were lead (in front court) official would go near table side to report and then have to go all the way across the court to either take up the C position or administer FT's. With her going table side (Trail in FT shooting situations) the other two have things better in hand and dont have to wait for her to get across. The old way never made sense added too many steps. The NBA has done it this way for years. If we are afraid of the coaches because it puts us in front of them, we should not be on the floor. Put the ball in play faster should be the motto and this does.
