Actually, I noticed similar issues with NBA mechanics, but found the answer as to their rotation this year. See, each crew consists of a crew chief, referee, and umpire. These positions are assigned to each game, usually based on senority. The rotation is based on where these guys are on the court, b/c the c.c. and umpire always start ball side on inbounds plays, if they are following proper mechanics, which, as we all know, never happens.
As for foul reporting, they are just lazy, and usually everyone at the table knows who fouled since they are just as experienced as the floor officials. Remember, this is the NBA, where anything goes!
