The right way for me is not to force a switch if it is not needed.

It may be right for you, but how about NFHS, IAABO, NCAAM, NCAAW, or FIBA. I'll even take a citation from the NBA.

I guess from a strictly rule book interpretation your partner was correct.
How could he be correct? He stated the violation was where the ball hit the floor. That's wrong. The ball could be stuck up somewhere, never hit the floor, and still be a violation.

I guessed I missed something....

Rarely (Cant think of many times) that you switch on a violation . Why waste the time switching here (OP)? The ball is going OOB on the baseline and coming back in. Bounce the ball and go...

Bouncing the ball across the paint is no big deal. Stepping under the basket and bouncing ball is no big deal, walking across the paint to hand the ball is no big deal and less than switching.

You just switched for the foul and now you're right back where you were before the foul call....
