Nor have coaches ever, in almost four decades, complained about a missed switch after a foul. They either don't know about the procedure, or, more importantly, really don't care.

Never have I heard, "Hey, you guys missed a switch", or, "Hey, aren't you guys supposed to switch?". I've heard, "That's bullshit", more times than I've heard about missed switches.

Observers, especially evaluating observers, seeing a lot of missed switches, as they may see in a subvarsity game, now that's a different story. Sometimes it's confusion (even though all rookie officials have been trained in mechanics, and floor tested), but sometimes it's laziness. Either way, they'll get some constructive criticism, and if they don't mend their ways their journey up the ladder will be a bit slower than those subvarsity guys that switch at all relevant times.
