Switching is done on fouls as Juulie pointed out. Som makes a good point about not switching on common fouls. But in addition to saving our energy for when we need it e.g., fast breaks, presses, etc., not switching on common fouls helps the game move along better. Good officials have numerous ways to have to game move along without unnecessary delays.
Coach, don't want to sound like a snob, but why not let the officials choose their methods. If you are getting good officiating, why are you questioning HOW they do things? We don't complain about HOW you coach....
