Offensive Foul Switch question

I understand that if lead calls the foul he would report, then go back and administer the throw-in but what if T or C has the call. So they then administer the throw-in? or does L push.

Think of the administration being exactly the same if there had been a violation. If L calls the foul, they report, then put the ball back in play at the spot. If T or C calls the foul, the old L/new T would administer the throw-in and "bump" the calling official to their new spot.

Does that help?

Bingo.

(Slight disclaimer: this is NOT true beginning this season for states that use IAABO 3-whistle mechanics.)

Even though we are an IAABO State (per the President of CHSAA) we will continue to go tableside after reporting this season

but happy as I have no problem communicating with coaches & prefer going TS so I don't have to whack anybody for hollaring across the court for an explaination.

Here in the "Constitution State", we use IAABO mechanics, almost all two person mechanics. We do use a few non-IAABO mechanics, i.e., no long switches when foul is called in the backcourt and there is no change of possession or direction.

I no longer have access to NFHS mechanics. What is the actual wording for no long switches in a two person game?

"Switch on every foul."
