long switches in HS

[smoref]

In NCAAW you do not switch if a foul is called in back court unless it is a bonus situation and FT are going to be shot.

As you all probably know by now WA has switched to 3 person in HS this year and since the NF books were printed last year before they switched to the table side reporting everthing regarding swtiching is wrong.

My question is if the T calls a foul in back court are we supposed to do long switches? For example if T is opposite table in back court do we switch with the C or do you just stay put like in NCAAW?

I think the NFHS has a release about this on their site.
But if you are opposite table you would switch with the C, if you are table side you stay the way you are. That's my understanding

The IHSA does not use long switches. So what the NF has into place does not apply to us necessarily. All that information is on the memo on our personal IHSA webpage.

This is a release to the IHSA officials about Long-switch:

In addressing the Long Switch mechanic with 3-person crews, there has been some discussion concerning whether or not a switch should occur when a foul is called in a teamÂ’s front-court, there will be no free throws shot, and the subsequent play is going the other way. While officials realize that this year the calling official is to go table side after making his/her call, in any situation where a foul is called, no free throws will be shot, and the play will be going the other way, no long switch needs to occur by the officials in a contest. In the play being described, the calling official simply needs to clear the action on the floor, get to the reporting area and call the foul, and then return to his/her position for the subsequent throw-in.

I believe that is their release, if the link doesn't work, let me know.

This only talks about communication with the coaches not about switching.

Sorry about that smoref. I thought I saw something on their site about this, maybe not. I'll continue looking.

I believe the Long Switch in High School is in effect when the Lead calls a foul in the backcourt going to front court with no free throws.

The difference between that and NCAA Women is that the high school reporting area is in the center of the floor while the NCAAW mechanic is to merely clear the players. {A couple steps off the backcourt endline may suffice.}

So, while the high school official is in the reporting area, a partner slides down to administer the throw-in.

If you mean L, yes the Lead goes to table-side to report and becomes New T or New C [tableside], depending on spot.
If you mean T, then T switches with C [tableside] and goes to New L, or New C, depending on the spot. This is not a "Long Switch".

As you can see, different organizations do it differently.

We would have no "long switch" no matter who called the foul. Slide or bump-and-run depending on the throw-in spot and the location of the officials relative to that spot before the foul. IOW, treat the subsequent throw-in just as if the offense had committed a violation at that spot instead of a foul.

In WA, you will only switch if the L is opposite the table when they make the call...if L is already table-side, report the foul, and then go back to your original position (but you are now the new Trail)...the phrase used in the WIAA/WOA training sessions was "V-back"...

SO: Lead calls an illegal screen table-side, steps out and reports foul, steps back and inbounds ball as new T...

But: Lead calls an illegal screen opposite side, steps out to report and then becomes the new C, and old C goes down to handle the inbound and be new Trail...

Hope this helps...

Thank you Rocky,

That is what I was looking for. We were talking about it in our pre-game last night and nobody was sure what the WIAA wants us to do. It was a no league game so it wasn't a big deal but we want to have this down before dist. and state

No problem - it's a little unclear unless you were at one of the WIAA/WOA camps...where in the state are you???

Rocky,
Good description of the V-back...that's what we have been doing per the WOA clinics.

Another question concerning 3-whistle:

Sideline throw-in in backcourt opposite side going to frontcourt...C's side.
Would old C administer the throw-in as new trail and "force" the old L to become new C and old T become new L opposite table?

Diagram 50 Page 66 in the Officials Manual shows this...just wondering if this also applies if it was C's side. (opposite table)

So as a general rule...do we administer throw-ins if the ball goes OOB on our sideline no matter which way we are going?

In 3-man, the new trail has all back court throws-in. If the ball is to be put in on C's side, the C will go down and become to new L, L pulls back into C, and T crosses the court for the throw-in.
