While your way is often acceptable, I think that the way I wrote above is what is the new trend. I was told this a few weeks ago at camp by two guys who work the WCC. This way avoids the LONG switch, but ALWAYS puts the calling official tableside. This makes good sense to me as the purpose of going tableside is to improve communication between the coaches and the calling official. Therefore, to only go tableside in the frontcourt would seem to defeat the purpose. It is also easy to remember to ALWAYS end up tableside when you call a foul.

The Lead with C switch in the backcourt is a short switch according to them.
Just something to think about.
Chuck's way is not only often accepted, it is exactly per cca 3 person mechanics for ncaa men. And I believe the ncaa women do it this way, although I could be wrong. Anyway it's a good system, imo.

IMO the nfhs mechanic will be very close to this, we'll see.
NCAA women's IS what Chuck said, but we were told that NFHS will be different, although I didn't pay much attention to that part since I don't need to know it. Going from 2-person to 3-person is bad enough, trying to learn two different 3-person systems is completely overwhelming. I feel sorry for folks who have to do that!
