Hmmm, I can't seem to find that. All I could find is that we're supposed to go opposite after calling the 5th foul on a player. I could've sworn that they told us to go opposite after a T on the coach. Anybody else remember that?
When the women changed their rotation (last season), they said the calling official "has the option to go opposite the table if an adversarial situation has or could occur." The bulletin does suggest staying tableside on T's or ejections, but then reminds officials that they can simply go to C.

Can't find anything official from the men, but I seem to recall the same provision being in effect - the calling official always has the option of going opposite.
