If the ball is going to be thrown in below FT line extended. The lead should administer the throw-in. Trail should not be bouncing the ball 20 plus ft on a throw-in. Let lead do it.
Personally I dont like the switch. If ball goes OOB on trail's side below FT line... Lead steps over and administers, Trail can step to other side of the floor (if he has to). Personally this is a perfect opportunity for both officials to administer using strong side mechanics, having both officials on same side of floor for the inbounds play that will be on that side.
