The problem of C being left out could be solved if they went to the NBA style of switching. The calling official goes trail and the other 2 officials move to a different spot. This ensures that 1 official does not get "stuck" in C.

I was at a camp that implemented this and I liked it. I'm sure that some day it will filter down to college and high school. The hardest part was when you called a foul in trail opposite table and the throw-in spot was opposite table. You are supposed to stay where you are but habit wanted me to go table side.

Does anyone see a reason not to use this method of switching?

I agree with Zebraman that it will be "interesting" for Men's College and High School officials to switch gears from game to game. Your level of concentration has to be one notch higher. I already have to report with 2 hands for high school (state implemented mechanic) and 1 hand for college. Why can't we all just get along Hank...Mary...Ronnie?
