Dan, it just doesn't really make sense for the calling official to go table-side every time in a 2-whistle game. Mainly b/c sometimes the table-side official will be the Lead. And if the point of going table-side is to foster communication with the coach, then it won't help much.

Unless you're willing to say, that the calling official always becomes the table-side Trail. (You could do this with FTs, with only minor adjustments.) But then we're going to have to adjust all kinds of other mechanics.

Just doesn't seem workable or practical a lot of the time for a 2-whistle game.
