It makes sence a bit. But it looks like sometimes they go opposite side and become trail. I agree that it amkes sence that you don't ahve to go across to adminisiter a free-throw. But if you are table side you will be right in ear-shot of a furious coach that disagrees with your call. I thikn NCAA and NF thinking is to get the calling officail as far away from them as possible on a foul.
