Sombody said, as Lead, look for a reason to rotate.

I think it's more of a "learning" thing. Officials new to three-person (in general) do not rotate as often as they should. It's like they are afraid of rotating and then haviong the ball and play go back to the other side. I've seen games where no rotations happened -- even though they should (imho) have. So, to get new officials used to rotating, the phrase was developed.

Like any general phrase (see the "if a body hits the floor, you must call a foul" thread), it can be taken to an extreme or be used where it wasn't intended.
