Timeout Mechanic

[rfp]

The NFHS rule book is pretty clear on where officials are to stand during time-outs, but what's not clear to me is which officials are to stand at which positions and when. I've worked with partners who do it differently. What's the right way?

Let's use the example of a timeout being called by A after a made basket by B. The new trail official calls the timeout and goes to the table and reports it. At this point which official goes where during the timeout? Does the new trail stay at midcourt or return to the inbounds spot? Do the officials switch in this scenario so the calling official stays at midcourt? Do the officials switch positions when the TO is called but switch again to their original positions after the first horn? Assume 2-man.
