Simultaneous whistles

Let's consider the motivations.

If you're doing NFHS mechanics, which require the reporting official to take the trail for the free throws, then you might say, "I had that one, so I'll report it."

If you're doing IAABO mechanics, which require a switch every single time, you might say, "you have to administer anyway, so I'll report it."

The "summer mechanics" around these parts usually mean switching on shooting fouls only (or often, when convenient, especially in running-time games), so a switch would have taken place just the same.

I agree with BNR, I'm much more likely to skip a switch than to relay a foul. I would think the relay would be a bigger deal than the switch, but you know what they say about the Romans.
