In 3 person, the calling official goes table side, and has a few seconds to respond to a coach's question during the first free throw. In two person, about all you get to do is report the foul, nod at the coach and get in position, because as new Trail, you have the silent 10 second count, the free throw shooter, the opposite lane, the flight of the ball, not to mention chopping the clock in on a miss.
I, too, am in Texas, and personally like going tableside.

Not much time to communicate when shooting 1 or 1-1, but when shooting 2, there is. I agree it's a lot to handle but I think overall it is better.
