go opposite so that you can see the free throw shooter/lane activity and whether or not they violate, see substitutions coming so that you can beckon them, signal violations to table, etc....if you stay table side in a 2-man game, this is not really fair to one coach - since you will still have to be low enough to see the free throw shooter and opposite lane activity, you will be right in front of one coach and they will be the only one with access to you for an explanation (the primary reasoning behind T staying table side in 3-man), whereas the other coach will not have the same opportunity....in a 3 man game with T basically at half court and no responsibility for the shooter or lane activity, he/she can converse with either coach as necessary...i think it makes sense as is, although i agree it is difficult thing to do if you go back and forth between 2 & 3-whistle games....
