If the trail has called a foul and is reporting it to the table, at what point does the lead force the switch? For example, as the trail, I've called a shooting foul and have reported the information to the table. Should the lead wait at the baseline for me switch and take the ball and administer the free throws or should the lead come out to the trail and make the switch??
The non-calling official is supposed to freeze and observe the players. That mechanic is interpreted as both physically freezing and visually freezing while moving into position, depending on who you talk to.
I guess I'm still a little confused on the mechanic. Does the lead come out to the trail, hand him the ball, and force the switch?
Both officials SHOULD know where they are going, if one does not, than a, "Here you go partner," force is in order.
