I'm not sure what your point is on the 3 whistle system. Virtually everything related to position after fouls is meant to get the calling official table side except when we go long with no FTs. As you might recall there was quite a bit of confusion when going table side was introduced regarding what to do on fouls in the backcourt with no free throws. I went to 3 camps that summer and was told to do this 3 different ways. I'm glad they settled on sliding instead of switching.
The 1 good reason for no long switch with 2 whistles is we can keep 4 eyes on the players while getting into position. Which btw is why it works with 3 whistles. You can keep 6 eyes on the players...(or if you're on the crew 5 good eyes)
