Switching on fouls

[MN 3 Sport Ref]

Rich:

Although I am sure it is NOT supported by the FED officaials handbook, in HS ball here in SE minn we switch on most all fouls but in a couple of situations (when you have had a good pregame w/ your partner). Trail calls foul in front court non-shooting. IF ball is to remain on T's side of court above FT line report foul inbound ball. T calls foul neer top of KEY in F court no FT where ball goes underneath, report foul lead puts in play no switch. T in transition to FC calls defensive foul no FT ball to be put in play on T's sideline report foul put in play no switch. Like I said this is not supported by FED but a couple of partners I work w/ a lot use this as we believe it improves game flow. Assignors here do not have a prob w/. However if we are being evaluated or working a different conference w/ an unfirmiliar assignor we usually do not use as they may not like the mechanic. I am sure many advocate switching on every foul, but IMO if you an partner are on same page and you feel comfortable go w/ it.
