OK, then I'm not the only one

I do like the idea of not doing the long switch, but then again I also like switching because if we have one aggressive team that's pressing then I'm not calling foul after foul in the backcourt.

I'm not a betting person, but I think if there's one place that college mechanics will trickle down to the NFHS (eventually), it will be in the switching after fouls.

Another place where a no switch makes sense is in the frontcourt where the trail calls a foul and the ball is put back into play above the free throw line extended. Call the foul, report the foul, put the ball back into play. The most either official would have to do is change sides of the court.

But for now I'll do things the way the NFHS wants them. In Wisconsin, that's a point of emphasis this season.
