Proper mechanic?

That way both R and C aren't moving through players and it seems like there could be a whole lot of players in the backcourt with the R still in the center circle and the U2 taking themselves out of the play by swinging down through the key/endline out of everyones way.

First of all it is acceptable for U1/U2 if the ball comes in front of them to officiate and even count if necessary once possession takes place in the backcourt. But the R would be the last person you would want to go to the Lead as they have too many players around them first of all and it would be hard for them to get to that position with so many potentially around them. Why would you want the R to go from half court to the end line and the opposite umpire to not go only 20 feet at most to the end line where they can adjust and go across the court? I do not know about you, but usually the circle is surrounded with players and there are not usually many players going to the back court in most cases. I do not see that as much of a problem and certainly see more problems doing what you suggest.
