When the NBA had only two man crews, they did not do any long swtiches for fouls in the back court and the ball was put back in play in the back court.
I recently screwed up my ankle and had a hard to moving. My partner was in his 5th month of recovering from open heart surgery. He asked me if we could do no long switches and do it like the old NBA 2-man crew. I said fine. The game went no differently and it saved me from pushing on my ankle to much and helped him too.
I use to work in the summer pro-league and college open league in LA. We used NBA 2-man mechanics and NBA rules for both leagues. It was a great experience.
I don't think there is nothing wrong with no long switches. Sometimes I have gone from lead to lead 2 or 3 times because T had made the calls in front of them. BUt until it is changed..I will do long switches except for the above situation.
Side note: We have an assignor here in this association who does not like the ball being bounced to players for throw ins. He wants us to hand the ball to them. The manual says bounce pass is ok, but do what the assignor says to get games. Right?
