This is not necessarily true in 2-whistle games. The officials will always switch after a foul is called, but the calling official's position may actually be table-side after the switch.
Example: You are the Trail official table-side. This means you are responsible for everything outside the free throw lane on the table side of the court. So you call a foul against the defense on "your" side of the court, near the endline. You switch, becoming the new Lead official, and the designated spot for the throw-in is on the table side of the court. So you are the new table-side Lead.
Even if there are free throws to be attempted, if you called the foul from the Trail position, you will end up table-side because you will switch to become the new Lead, and the Lead is always table-side for free throws.
