Running to rotate
Running across the lane is not the ideal, I agree. It's not what we want to do on every rotation. However, let's remember the whole purpose of 3-whistle mechanics. The whole point is to have two officials officiating the strong side of the court -- especially if the ball is in the post.
If you can get across to your new position before the ball enters the post, then do it. If you have to run, you probably waited too long? So what? So close down sooner next time. But this time, get your butt to where you need to be to officiate the play.
This is being taught at Guthrie's camps this year and my guess is that it will filter into general usage very soon.
