USA vs Australia

Many times I've seen NBA officials indicate to each other no switching during the final 24 seconds of a quarter. It's not unusual at all.

I guess if you say you've seen it, I have to believe it; but I find it pretty unlikely that NBA officials tell each other NOT to rotate (not "switch", as you stated). Even in the last 24 seconds of the period, the Lead can come ballside; the outside officials simply don't complete the rotation. So the C wouldn't tell the L not to come ballside. The C would see the Lead cross the lane, but simply wouldn't slide back to Trail.
