The smartest way to do it is as follows:
If no free throws are to be shot:
A. If the Lead is already tableside when he calls the foul, everyone stays right where they are. The Lead becomes the new Trail and inbounds the ball in the backcourt. C stays C opposite the table and the old Trail becomes the new Lead. This assumes that the foul was in the Lead primary. If the foul was in the C's primary, it gets goofy. (Yet another reason the Lead shouldn't be looking there!)

B. If the Lead is opposite the table, then he switches with the C. The old C will now be the new Trail and inbound in the backcourt. The old Lead is now tableside and C. Old Trail is new Lead.

If we are shooting FTs at the other end in an NFHS game or for a rebounding foul in NCAA:
C. Go to the same positions as in A, but everyone now moves down the court and administers the FTs.
D. The old T will become the new Lead and administer the FTs and will be tableside. The old Lead will switch with the old C and come tableside, but will actually end up as Trail for the the FTs. The old C will go opposite table, but will still be the C over there.
