So if the ball is opposite me for more than a second and a half, I'm going.

Not me.
First, for me, strong side is not necessarily where the ball is. Strong side can move where most of the players are. More officiating may be needed where there are more players, not necessarily where the ball is.
Other issues can effect whether I rotate as well. For example:
I'm L, tableside.
A1 has been posting up in the low post all night long.
If A1 is tableside, I'm staying tableside, even if the ball rotates opposite.
I know that the ball is either coming back or A1 will come off a screen and move opposite.
Finally, in girls ball, if you roatate everytime the ball goes below the FT line extended, you're going to rotate 2 or 3 times on every trip necessary. To me, that's unnecessary.
