This is something the NFHS could and should switch. There's really no point in the long switch considering the situations in 3 person where NONE of the officials move.

I've worked hard to incorporate more NFHS mechanics that have eluded me the past few years, including stopping the clock on out of bounds calls and not blowing a whistle on the baseline throw-in.

I'll let you know what happens if I ever have a pregame dunk.
Now that's funny!

BTW I don't like the NFHS 3-man switching mechanics mainly because there are too many situations in which none of the officials swap spots. I much prefer the NBA mechanic in which the calling official comes to the table and the other two officials switch. This changes it up with greater frequency and this is desirable.
