That is why I am not a fan because we should not be changing what we do in the last few seconds. And at least at the college level officials are taught what to do more. At the HS level, we just try to get people in position properly. This to me puts too many variables into our movement.

Well, I appreciate the opinions, but please make sure you fully understand the concept before making the criticisms.
First, no where did I say the C cannot "move out like normal". I did not say officials have to stand still. Officials still move to get the proper angles, and officiate just like they would at any other time in the game. The only 2 items the mechanic affects is the C who gives the signal will be the one to have the last shot no matter where the ball is, and if there is a change of possession in that last few seconds, the old L/new T will come back across the lane just like they would do if the other 2 officials didn't pick up the rotation.
There are a few holes in either method, and neither is perfect. And I understand it's hard for you to understand a mechanic you don't normally use, especially if it's a *women's* mechanic.
Since some of us have had practice using both, it's not difficult to use and understand both.
