While Dan_ref's way may not be the "best" way to handle it, it is essentially the book way. The trail is to take the same position on T's as any other FT and has the same responsibilities.
I do agree that if there are potential problems, it is better off for the T to leave the FTs to the L and to cover the 9 players.
Also, contrary to what was said above, the person calling the T is not necessarily the one who administers it (if you go by the book). It is a foul like any other and the officials are to switch. Either official may end up in either position.
In practice, it may work better to have the person who called the T NOT administer it (now that the lead administers all FTs). That way, it gets the calling official at a distance fro m the bench and will keep them there until at least the next whistle. If the calling official administers the FT (as lead), they will immediately be running by the benches on the next trip down the floor.
Of course, this only matters if the coach is involved or is not agreeable with the situation.
