Since nobody has responded to Juulie's quizzing over RookieDude's "long switch" I just thought I'd throw out that it sounds like what he's talking about is not doing the "bump and run" when the ball goes oob in front of the trail (who would otherwise become the new lead). Instead the trail takes it out and the lead runs the length of the court.

On the topic of the long switch on a foul, I was counseled at a camp this summer to never do the long switch. The reason given is that it puts both officials in the back court while most of the players are making their way down court with less supervision than they should have. How do you all feel about this? The argument against it makes sense to me. Are there any good arguments for doing the long switch?
