Long Switches

[Texas Aggie]

I don't like the no long switch business in 2 man. It doesn't make sense. If the lead calls a player/team control foul he can move toward the table, report the foul, and his co-official will be ready for the throw in on the baseline or whereever. IF the co-official senses trouble brewing on the walk down, then they can make eye contact after the foul report and adjust according to what they decided in pre-game. But a blanket no long switch business looks and feels awkward and the non calling official might have to keep looking back and forth to keep his eyes on all players. If he's down on or near the baseline setting up a throw in, he has a view of all players.

Calling official turns around after the report, ball goes in play, and we are back. It would save 10 seconds a foul minimum.
