Ft, "t"

Why can't the Trail official listen/explain whatever to the coach while standing in proper position and facing the court? To do otherwise is to put your crew in a bad situation because they are either proceeding a man down or having to wait.
This isn't a time-out, so there shouldn't be any delay in administering the FTs here. Don't be an official that either hurts your crew or unnecessarily holds up the game!

2nd half of the game...though that should never preclude one from still facing the court while conversing w/the coach.

In that case, how about having a quick word after reporting the foul while near the table and then turning and going to the proper position for the FT?
Isn't this what NCAA Mens officials do as they go opposite table after reporting?

No, we just ignore them, go opposite and then slyly give them a one-finger wave from the other side of the court with a shit-eating grin on our face

Waiting for your partner to look before administering a free throw doesn't mean waiting for him/her to explain things to the coach. It simply means waiting until said partner is facing your direction and can see what's going on.
