It simply gets all 3 officials to a different spot after each foul, so you don't get the same two guys making the call on each end of the court and just switching with each other. This is less of a possibility, I think, when the calling official goes opposite (NCAA M) than when the calling official simply goes tableside. If you just go tableside, then if we're shooting the bonus on both ends, the Lead and Trail could simply switch every possession while the C sits opposite the table for a prolonged period. This won't happen in the NBA mechanic.
