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?

Same here in my little corner of Connecticut. In the Catholic middle school games, we switch when convenient.

I usually do, personally. However, this is one where we don't in 3-person (unless working NCAAM) and that's trickled down into 2-person, too.

Not just our local association, but the state has officially said no to long switches.

We didn't long switch in Texas...so it was a big jump for going to a state that's fully by the book NFHS mechanics.
