As for the non-administering official, if all the players are at the half line, where is the best place for him to be to observe them? At the half line. And from recent discussions, I'm betting the majority opinion is that he/she should be table side so that the coaches can inspect the back of his/her Sans-a-belts.  |
You have to know the mechanics before you should deviate from them for game management reasons.
By the book, in two person lead administers from tableside and trail is opposite, between the 28' mark and FT line extended. 3 person lead is the same with the C opposite and trail at the 28' mark tableside.
In practice trail in both 2 and 3 is near half court and my preference is tableside if the T was on the coach or results in an indirect on the coach.
