Every system has problems. In the old system some guys thought the T had nothing to do once the ball crossed into the frontcourt.

I was making the leap that a lot of officials probably didn't move since they knew they weren't rotating across. Clearly that wasn't the case for all officials, but I've seen it even in systems where officials were supposed to rotate. They'd just say something in the pregame like "I don't like rotating too much" and that was code for "I don't rotate, ever."
