Agreed - in IL we treat a foul in the backcourt with no free throws the same as a violation. If the T calls it, they become new L and the old L comes over and administers the throw-in. C stays C. If the L calls the foul, they come out enough for the table to see them report, and go back to the same spot for the throw-in. If C calls the foul, the old L comes over and "bumps" them to new L, and the old T becomes new C.
Usually these types of fouls tend to occur early in a game or half, and most coaches don't need their hand held (oops, I mean talked to) until later in the game. Since the tableside mechanic is for communication purpopses, there's usually no need to do any communicating for these. But like always, pre-game this. If you still need to talk to the coach, let your partners know, and they will fill in the empty spot. I've seen a couple of switches where all three partners changed positions because of one wanting to be in front of a coach when he wasn't supposed to be, or to get away from a coach in a volitile situation.
