Officials positioning after calling foul in back court headed other direction

Just don't understand, they want us to go tableside as the lead calling the foul when going the other way, but if the C or T calls the foul opposite the table, they want them to go back and just slide down the floor and stay opposite, like we do if it was a violation, why not make it all the same and whoever calls stay table side and slide down in position.

I *think* the issue was that too many (old) L's were not getting to the reporting area (C and T are already almost there), and / or that if L goes all the way out to the area, it makes (to them) more sense to have someone else be going back to get the game started more quickly.

Lots of ways this could be done -- this is the way they chose (for this year).
