The "no long switch" in 2-whistle works fine, but so does the "long switch". There's nothing silly about the backcourt switch, b/c the calling official (often on the endline) is supposed to go to the reporting area to report the foul. So since you're already above the 3-point arc, just stay there.
If you want to get rid of the reporting area, then no long switch makes more sense than the long switch. But if you're reporting correctly, then you might as well just make the switch. It's not really that big a deal. It doesn't save that many steps.

I think someone already said that the no long switch in 2 man allows the other guy to remain focused on the teams as they wander downcourt. I suppose you could do this and the long switch, it just doesn't seem as natural to me.
Anyways, I pregame all my 2 man games to *not* long switch (apologies to Nevada - I'm sure you'll get over it buddy).

I have a partner that doesn't like to long switch, so we don't. What I was saying earlier is the place where it's really unnatural (long switching) is where the TRAIL calls the rebounding foul.
