If we haven't switched in a while I generally force a switch at that point.
It may not be right, but nobody has argued with me during a pre-game discussion regarding this mechanic. In fact most agree with me.

That is the way I and everyone I have worked with to date have done it - but it is apparently not correct. Just curious as to how it should work when done properly; and doesn't it slow things down.
My experience is there are a lot of lazy referees out there who don't bother hustling down court much less making a switch many would consider (not me) a waste of time and energy.
