This is a little vague. In the NBA, the calling official always moves to (or stays in) the Trail position. The other two officials move to new positions. So if the Trail opposite the table calls a non-shooting foul that will be inbounded on his/her sideline, the calling official stays put and the Lead and Slot officials switch.

If the Trail opposite the table calls a shooting foul, then the calling official moves to the table-side and becomes the Trail. The old table-side Slot moves to the Lead and the old Lead moves to be the new Slot opposite the table.

they take the ball out on the sides for non-shooting fouls and violations
Except for OOB violations on the endline; or an Away-from-the-play foul before the ball is inbounded from the endline. In those cases (and probably some others), the ball is put back in play on the endline.
