I agree with mpeterson. It makes sense for the calling official to maintain position in front of the table on a :30 and across from the table near the sideline on a full. I use the volleyball standard covers as a reference. I also agree that the officials should meet on timeouts during the last minute to go over the game situation. I guess I have never seen the calling official on a time-out go back to the ball unless the time-out was near the division line. The coaches know where the ball will be because the non-calling official is standing on the spot with the ball in the arm of the direction it will go coming out of the time out. If on the endline, hold the ball in front of you or in back of you. This is a good idea because when you get over 40 on a full time out you might forget which way the ball goes in 60 seconds!
