As the old lead/new trail coming out of a timeout after a goal, I've always just administered the throw-in on the same side of the court where I was when the timeout was granted.
The only exception is in a situation where I've wanted to get one official away from tableside, usually when I'm hoping to move myself/my partner away from a confrontational coach for awhile.
For example:
Coach gets whacked by my partner, who then moves to the opposite side of the court to administer the throw-in after the foul shots for the T. Next trip down the court, partner calls a foul during a try, reports, and stays tableside. Coach is still steaming, but not enough for a second T. If the timeout follows these shots, I'm going to try to set up so that my partner starts out opposite the table when we resume play.
I can only remember explicitly doing this once, but at the time, it seemed like the best course of action. By the time my partner got back tableside again, the coach had calmed down and the game finished without further incident.
