The theory, I think, is that it's always better to have two officials ballside. Two sets of eyes on a drive are better than one set of eyes. So however often you have to rotate to keep two officials ballside is how often you go.

Maybe we should just go to 4-whistle crews. Two officials on each side of the basket -- no rotations at all.
