We used to use the mechanic of having the trail table-side during free throws years ago. The FED put in the current 2-man "shooting foul" mechanics specifically to deal with what you are complaining about. They wanted the trail facing the bench so that he was looking right at the table for possible substitutions, instead of having everything behind him where he couldn't see anything.
