The lead and trail were the only ones to switch on fouls.

I flew to Barrow, Alaska a few weeks ago and was working a game one night with a couple guys that hadn't worked much 3-man before. During our pre-game, one of them spoke up and basically said, we like to have the C be on the far side of the court so that you're not standing there with your @$$ in the coaches face. He was totally serious. Needless to say, we had a serious discussion about rotating and switching based on where the ball/players were on the court, NOT to avoid standing in front of the coach.
