In the clinic I attended in my first few meetings prior to working any game, the clinician had a great quote regarding non-calling officials' responsibilities during a foul call: freeze your eyes but not necessarily your feet. That was at the time of 2 person only (at least at that level) but the idea still stands in 3 person: either the L or the C (or the T in transition) freezes their eyes on the players. They may or may not move, depending on the circumstances but to suggest the calling official should wait until his or her partner gets to their spot is absurd.

On the other hand, the calling official should not just make a break for the table. This is a good place to slow down, but not to stay put.
