There are plenty of reason we can give officials to rotate and/or not rotate. The key is developing a sense of when the ball is gonna stay over there versus when it will probably come back. At some point it stops becoming a science and starts becoming an art.
And until officials develop that art, they need to go more and run the "risk" they have to go back.

Otherwise you end up with games like ones I've had in the past -- working with guys who rotate once in an entire game and claim they can get just as good of looks by "working deep."

Congratulations...those are 2-man mechanics...you're telling the school they can save $60.

(Consider the situation you mentioned where you let the C officiate the post player opposite the L outside the paint. Tell me how this differs one iota from 2-person mechanics...this is exactly how we'd officiate this play in 2-person.)
