The NBA mechanic is for the reporting official to stay table side. As far as game flow, I think it makes sense. No more coming across to tableside then having to return to opposite table. I think most officials are big boys, and girls, and can take care of themselves.
The whole point of returning to opposite table was to get the calling official away from the coach. But here's hypocrisy for you. In the NF, the offficial who calls foul #5 on the star player has to inform the coach that his star has just fouled out, yet any other time they want you to report and get opposite table. I've always thought that was one of the most stupid rules in the book!
