Stupid, Or Lazy ???

Here in my little corner of The Constitution State, we switch on every foul. Every single foul. All the time. Every game.

A few years ago we tried no long switches on fouls in the backcourt where there was no change of possession, i.e., A1, guarded by B1, is dribbling in his backcourt and B1 fouls A1. Backcourt? Yes. Foul? Yes. Change of possession? No. So, no long switch. Well the two year experiment failed because many couldn't figure out what a change of possession meant, and that during a try, there is no team possession, until a player gains possession. We had guys not switching on player control fouls, and on all rebounding fouls.

So, now we're back to long switches, and short switches, and in between switches. Every single foul. All the time. Every game.

Two person games. Long switches. Connecticut really is The Land That Time Forgot. Now, where did I leave my buggy whip?
