In 2 person mechanics, when there is a foul and shots are to be taken at the other end of the court, the Lead official takes the ball to the other end and becomes Lead down there and administers the free throws. This is considered to be the switch after a shooting foul because he went from Lead to new Trail after the foul and then when he reaches the other end he becomes the new Lead. How does it work in 3 person mechanics? In high school 3 person mechanics I am told that you don't switch on a foul which causes the ball to go the other direction ie. a foul by the offense in the front court. So in a situation where there is a foul committed on one end and foul shots will be taken on the other end of the court, I assume there will be no switch after the foul is reported but then, what are the positions that the 3 officials take up on the other end to set up for the free throws? I am assuming that the 3 officials just move down the court the same way that they would if the ball had changed hands and went the other way. Please advise, thanks, Ralph.
