While only a third year myself, I have two second year officials I support partly because I suggested they get into officiating. One was talking about how when she does rec games, her mechanics get all botched up. Her partners do the same things you were talking about. I told her to work on her game and force the switches if possible. I had an experienced official work with me this year in a CYO middle school game. He not only didn't switch unless I forced it but he wouldn't even go across from table as trail on free throws. He just stayed on the side he was at. This was very frustrating as I have enough to worry about in calling a good game and getting good position without trying to figure out where he was or wasn't going.
