Time out mechanic confusion

[zebraman]

That is just the way it is and will always be.

But why? What's the point of the NFHS putting out a book if we're just all going to do it our own way? In organizations, there is usually a defined process for creating change. There is w/ the NFHS too. If states have a better idea, they can submit it and let it be changed. In the meantime, why not just do it the way it's documented until it's changed? You can either just accept it and be part of the problem, or maybe a change agent that makes things more standard. Up to you.

I mean personally, I think it's kind of silly for the T and the L (2-person mechanics here) to switch on a foul that the Trail calls in backcourt by himself/herself... especially with no pressure. Why not just call it, turn and report it, then inbound the ball and save all the additional steps and time? But you know what... the NFHS wants us to switch every foul so I do.
