This is something the NFHS could and should switch. There's really no point in the long switch considering the situations in 3 person where NONE of the officials move. I've worked hard to incorporate more NFHS mechanics that have eluded me the past few years, including stopping the clock on out of bounds calls and not blowing a whistle on the baseline throw-in. I'll let you know what happens if I ever have a pregame dunk. :D |

BTW I don't like the NFHS 3-man switching mechanics mainly because there are too many situations in which none of the officials swap spots. I much prefer the NBA mechanic in which the calling official comes to the table and the other two officials switch. This changes it up with greater frequency and this is desirable. |

Ok, I'll take your word for it. ;)

Is there really an issue with NFHS/NCAA style switching in 3 person? Is it really necessary to switch like the NBA does to ... actually, what is the goal of the NBA switch?

Though theoretically it could be the same ONE guy, since s/he becomes T after every foul call, he'll become L once the ball goes the other way. Actually, in a really sadistic way, that would help ensure consistent calls at each end. ;)

I have heard both explanations from differing sources in my association. It seems to vary between "no long switches- period" to "no long switches unless we're shooting". I've been pregaming this. Results have varied.
I dunno... Despite the manual, it seems strange for me to be at midcourt when my partner calls a foul in backcourt on a press, then reports and heads the rest of the way to administer while I stand there, watch players and then take 2-3 steps to my position during the FTs. Makes me feel like I'm not doing anything. Z |
Officials Manual 2.4.2.E.1.
"Officials should switch position on all fouls. No exceptions." We normally don't make long switches, despite the Manual instruction. |
No Long Switches ...
