I guess it's just an opinion of whether you think getting the clock right or not being straight-lined on a drive to the basket is more important
Now, I had always been taught that even though the crew might be "locked down" and will no longer rotate, the L will still come across and referee the play instead of leaving the C to handle all the players and the ball. If there is a turnover or basket, the L will then come back across to their orginal position as they go down the floor, so the old C will remain C, and the old T becomes the new L.

Iow, the L will still come across so there are no straight-lined plays, and the C still keeps track of the clock. "Locking down" doesn't mean staying in the same spot and keeping bad angles.
