A long-time partner of mine and I are gonna try losing the long-switch in games that he and I are working a two-man game together.
A few time during the game with offensive fouls being called in the front court, it seemed really appropriate that we not switch (although we did switch anyway). So, during the post-game windshield time we thought w'ed try this unauthorized mechanic. We do religiously switch at other appropriate times, but we thought we would try to eliminate this long-switch scenario in a few games this year. Thoughts ?

Texas style
In Texas, we do not switch on non-shooting fouls in the 2 person game (unless one person wants out of a situation or has called 4 in a row on one end). You will find that you like the non-long switch especially.

Personally, I think the "long switch" gets a bad rap. I'm going to the table anyway, so what is so hard about having my partner slide to the endline and pick up the ball? I just don't think it's a big deal. Done it both ways, and frankly, I feel kind of dumb when I just take two steps to report my foul, just so I don't have to walk very far back to "my" spot for the inbound. Just my own opinion. You may like it not making the switch, but for me, it just isn't a big deal.

I am a little surprised that you are uncomfortable with just "clearing the players" in order to report. I like that mechanic a lot, it just isn't available in HS. mick

That's what we do, except I was just wondering about this deviation for what, maybe 3 time a game ? mick
