I would hope ALL 3-person crews would rotate. When this started to become more popular in the HS game, I would work with some older officials who said there wasn't any need to rotate. I've since learned that's just not true.

In a two whistle crew, when you are the lead, have you ever, as lead, moved from one side of the lane to the other? Trail doesn't move.
Are either of these procedures recommended or opposed for high school ball under FED rules?

Absolutely. I believe it was actually implemented 5 or 6 years ago. The L in a two-person crew should rotate over if the ball and post players are on the T's side. Just remember, the L still has the same essential areas of coverage, as well as that far sideline. Because of that, the L won't rotate as often as in a 3-person crew. But it does put them in a position to see some things that the T might not pick up.
