Most of the players are at or near the division line while you shoot a T, so being high at trail makes observing them easier, and doing so from tableside puts you around 15 feet from the coach, a good range so that they feel you can hear them and close enough for you to deliver the seatbelt message without being right beside them.
It also puts you right there for when a table asks if that T counts as a team foul, which happens from time-to-time too. 
And to show you we are on the same page...a first half T in 3 person, puts the trail right beside the coach that got banged...2nd half mechanically, you'd be beside the shooting teams coach. |
OK, no problem with that. Your 15 feet distance also means the coach will have to be pretty loud to continue whatever got him/her the T in the first place.
I only asked about where an official should be in the second half because other people have posted about being beside the coach after a T is given and there is no reason to be beside a coach (who just got a T) in the second half.
