No!
The reason, since I have been following the NFHS rules and NCAA Men's. They seem to be the most reluctant to want to improve upon the system. Most senior officials who have been doing it a long time, ignore these dumb rules. The only people I see doing this is the new or young officials, wanting to do the 2-person switch at every foul. I feel you on the shooting foul called from Trail and after reporting you turn around and have to run down and administrator F/T's, dumb, dumb, dumb.....!!!!
Do I think they will ever change it? If they haven't by now, I don't think so. The NBA has it together when it comes to these type of things. You might find it enjoyable reading, reading their code because it answers a lot of questions in my mind as to why they change things that are different from the others. They are also more willing to listen to their officials and make changes when everyone is in agreement that it needs to change. NFHS and NCAA Men's don't listen to front line officials, and probably because there is just too many of us. Even with the rules they have in place now, there is not consistently across the nation. One thing for sure, there's not going to be any long switches in the games I do. Even if it's just one varsity game 2-person. No long switches.
