Jay R has it right...in the front court, the calling official will always become the trail. The other two officials will become a new position (as in lead will be the slot, old trail will move to lead, etc.)

So for example:

Lead opposite calls a shooting foul...Lead will go to table side and become a new trail, slot (center) will move to lead, and the old trail will move down to the slot.

Same play but non-shooting foul:

Lead will report and go to trail opposite table...old trail will move to slot position tableside and the old slot will become the lead opposable
