When 3-whistle first came to the NCAA, they did not use the "flex" rotations. Basically, they said that the Lead could go to either side of the lane, depending on where the ball was, but the the Trail and Center would not rotate. If the Lead went across the lane to the C's side, it was the L's responsibility to return to the "normal" side (which was table side, I believe). So it was not at all uncommon to have the L on the C's side and have the C stay right where he was, b/c he knew that the L was just going to go back eventually, even if it was in transition!!!
As to the PC calls and the 3-point line, I can't really comment about them. I'm pretty sure that when the 3-pointer came to the NCAA, it was even closer than it is now (I think it started at 19'), so if they were playing with only an NBA line, I would guess that they weren't using the 3-point attempt. Just a guess on my part, tho. Mark DeNucci probably has the real facts.
