OD, obviously, your situations call for some flexibility, and no one here (that I know of) would deny that. For simplicity, we could look at this as a spectrum between "call what you see" and "stay in your primary."
Some refs are way on the side of CWYS, and others are completely in the SIYP land. The vast majority fit somewhere in the middle, on different spots along this spectrum for various reasons.
Obviously, if a C has no one in the primary, expanding is desired. But really, how often are all 10 players (or even 9 players) going to be on 1 side of the court? Half of those times, it will involve a rotation, then won't last long (as soon as an offensive player recognizes the wide open back door, it will go away).
Obviously, there are times to jump out and get those pushes in the back or travels in the paint. The problem comes when officials use the "CWYS" philosophy to look all over the court and end up missing the push in the back off the ball in their primary.
