I realize this is different from the "flex" in NFHS and NCAA, but what's so bad about it really? As long as the Lead comes ballside when necessary and goes back when the ball transitions, is it that big a deal if the C slides 8 feet toward the division line? The one obvious advantage of that system is that there are no missed rotations -- because there are no rotations. You never end up with 2 Leads; or worse, no Leads.

At least with the NCAA change we will not have to adapt to going across from the table any more on foul calls.
I was led to believe that the NCAA is going back to having the calling official go opposite the table. I was told that the supervisors think there's way too much conversation after foul calls. I could be wrong, but I think it's coming.
