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.

Kelvin,
Adding that mechanic puts a little crimp in the approved mechanics, I think. [Of course, that is a proper mechanic for three-whistle Women's ball.]
But in NFHS 2-whistle, if the Lead goes strong-side to administer the sideline, then the Lead owns that sideline (ie, Officials administer
only their lines.)
The opposite sideline must then be the responsibility of the Trail, and a cross court throw-in to the opposite corner can find the Trail in a most awkward position to view a toe on the arc, or a tipped pass.
And, too, with the Trail administering deep, a 10'-15' bounce pass should give sufficient distance for the Trail to retreat. (Shucks, a typical bounce to a free-thrower is 15'-18'.)
