We don't do long switches. It is one of our local policies and procedures. When one of these fouls is called one official is supposed to be watching the players while the other is reporting. If we are busy switching maybe something will be missed or if we wait to switch then it is very time consuming. Just what we do. Most all our games are 3 person though.

In the 2 man games I've worked in this area, the only long switch that is made regularly is the one described in situation one.

No More No Long Switches ...
A few years ago, Connecticut experimented with no long switches when a foul was called in the backcourt, and there was no change in possession. Some of our guys either didn't understand "change in possession", didn't understand "backcourt", or were just lazy, so we went back to switching all the time two years ago.
One example of a "confusing" situation for some was the classic player control charge foul in the frontcourt called by the lead. Another was an offensive "over the back" call before the defensive player gained control of a rebound, called by the trail. Yeah. I know. We've got some "dead weight" on our local board. These are the guys who will be working subvarsity games the rest of their career.

No "long switches" here, and that's by the (our) book.
If your book says to do it (and assuming you are expected to follow the book), then switch.

We long switch where it makes sense. If I call a charge, I'm usually initiating a switch since I'd rather come up and properly report rather than use semaphore flags from the end line. If it's a rebounding foul and I'm the trail (for example) and we're going long, we aren't switching.
I work with a handful of people and any switch that feels awkward we usually don't do unless one of us wants to get out of the T/L position and then that official initiates a switch. When in Rome....

Board assignment: We switch on all fouls.
Youth/non-board assignment: That can vary. Still, why WOULDN'T you switch in sitch 1, since the lead has to report the foul, anyway?

Here the only time we switch in two whistle is when the lead calls a shooting foul.
