I assume the Trail is the responsible official since he is facing the table. But he is also fairly busy counting and watching the players until the ball drops thru the hoop. At that INSTANT is the Trail required to check the table and immediately - before the non-shooting team can grab the ball - and whistle if there are subs reported at the table?

No, the trail official should not be facing the table. There shouldn't be any reason to be counting players at this point either. If the trail closes down, a sub may slip in behind him, in which case the lead or the center may have to whislte and stop play. If I'm at trail, I normally glance over my shoulder as the ball goes through the basket.

In 2 man the trail "faces" the table and has responsibility
for subs at the table during free throws.
