Even if you are in the middle of a rotation, the same person is still going to make the call. It is always the Trail or Center, opposite of the table. And if there is a rotation during the play and the C becomes the new T, that officials will still have the last second shot. I am not sure about NCAA Men's, but that is how it is in Federation. But I do know that some do advocate not to rotate during the last few seconds.

One exception to this (probably for advanced crews only) -- In Fed, opposite the table has the shot. If L and T are opposite, and there is a steal, or a made shot with a few seconds left and a long throw, etc, then the old L (new T) will have to make the call from far away.
Options: (a) L has call on long throw; (b) L rotates so C is opposite and then locks down.
Option (b) is especially good if there is a delay / stall in the last minute.
