"We" are assuming it because people assume too much.

Life is simpler that way.

I, for one, never heard anything at all about this being even a minor consideration when it was decided to go opposite table. The only reason is coaches got too used to being talked to, and that was because the officials were too willing to talk. I know I've been guilty a few times my self.
