Personally, I'm not crazy about it. As I mentioned, if you're the trail, and you call a shooting foul in the front court, you stay trail. I thought the whole idea of switching was to try to ensure some consistancy in the calls: If as Lead I call a foul, well, I'll be the lead for the other team the next trip down the court. With this mechanic, it doesn't neccessarily happen that way.
And, like I said, you really don't get to stay in front of the bench very long...just long enough to listen to the coach tell you how you just robbed his team, etc, etc, etc, because you have to be in position to do the 10 second count, rebounding, shooter's feet, lane violations, and flight of the ball.
I'm not sure if it's an experiment, or if this is the way Texas is going to do it forever.
