I guess states and/or associations have the ability to change certain mechanics.

In our chapter, for example,we have no long switches, 2 or 3 person, and now this year, even in 2 person, the calling official for a shooting foul goes tableside. This will negate switching if you are already trail and call a shooting foul on the defense in the front court. Supposedly it's to improve communication with the coaches,etc, etc, etc, but in 2 person, as trail, you can't hang around the mid court line...you have the 10 second count, watching the flight of the ball, watching the lane spaces opposite you, not to mention the shooter.
