Some states? Actually, the NFHS mechanic is to stay tableside. Also, in 3 man, the calling official stays tableside.

So why is that a terrible decision?

I believe IAABO has not made that choice; but I agree that it's not a horrible decision.

Six in one hand, half a dozen in the other. I do not think it really matters either way.

I believe that it is a great decision. Why have the coach yell all the way across the floor because, arbatrarly and by old mechanic, we would rotate on every foul. Makes sense to have the calling official trail table side to be able to ANSWER A QUESTION from the coach. If it gets to be too much the official can move away from the coach and should move away and more onto the court if it becomes a hostile situation. I think that NCAAW have it correct as well NFHS. I have also been told in our rules meeting that if we belive it will be confrientational, we have the option of being trail opposit table. However in this situation I would be table side.
