  • L and T should be on opposite sides of the floor (other than when the L comes ball side).
  • Each official is responsible for the sideline on his side of the floor. Even when he comes ball side, the L is still responsible for the sideline on his "proper" side of the floor. (Note that there are some common variations on this theme, but I'm talking about the basic principle.)
  • However you got to the side of the floor you're on, you will be responsible for that sideline until you change sides.
  • There are three situations that can force officials to change sides: 1) Jump ball, 2) Free throw, 3) Throw-in.
  • The jump ball is as you describe. The non-tossing official (no longer has to be the U) will be responsible for the sideline on the table side.
  • Free throw administration may require the officials to change sides from where they were.
  • A throw-in may require a change of sides as the administering official goes to the spot (or near the spot if bouncing the ball) and his partner goes opposite.
  • Other than that, you do not normally change sides. But never say never.
You are correct in my reason for questioning being both jump ball and afterwards.

FT: 2-man - what determines the positioning of the lead and trail in regards to sideline? Trail always opposite table? Give me some examples of when a FT may require switching sides.
