Long switch on rebounding foul?

[jritchie]

Probably a stupid question, but, I know we do a long switch when we are changing directions, on such plays as offensive foul or team control fouls, when we go the other way.

My question is when Team A is shooting, and then Team A commits a foul on the rebound, we would also do the long switch then too right?

My partner said that Team B came down with the rebound and then was fouled by Team A, so we wouldn't, is there a difference if Team B didn't come down with the ball and both teams were battling for the rebound and Team A foulds then? still trying to get the correct time to long switch and when to not. Thanks

Did the lead make the call? If so, and you are still going the other way then yes you would do the long switch. Doesn't matter how the fould happened, if the L calls it and play is moving in the other direction then you long switch.

Some (or all) of this is area-dependent, but as soon as B controls the ball (i.e., the count starts; B can be granted a TO), then old-L becomes the new-T, and there is no long switch -- report and go back.

If neither team has (initial) control after A has lost TC because of the try, the old-L is still old-L and you switch.

long switches are pretty pointless in the grand scheme..... seem like a time waster to me.

NFHS this season made a three-person mechanics change that involves the lead official calling a foul with the ball going from the backcourt to frontcourt with no free throws. With the change, the lead reports the foul and then stays tableside as the new lead or center.




However, there has been some uncertainty by some officials whether or not the new trail should switch when a foul is called in the backcourt going to the frontcourt in a three-person crew. NFHS recently confirmed that mechanic remains the same as in the past and there is no switch. The trail reports the foul and then returns to administer the throw-in. That means, that once team B has secured the ball and a count has started (meaning the former lead is the new trail), you will not switch but simply report the foul and move back to the trail as in previous seasons.




For example, if A4 rebounds B2’s field-goal attempt, A4 starts to dribble the ball and the new trail calls a foul on B3 near the basket, the new trail will report the foul and administer the throw-in nearest the spot of the foul. If A2 makes a basket and the new trail calls a foul on A1 after B3 catches the throw-in pass near the endline, the new trail will report the foul and administer the throw-in at the spot nearest the foul.




I had the same question earlier as well and I emailed a more seasoned official and he sent me this of off my referee

Yes, and that is what I thought too, but partner said to treat it as if Team B got the ball and Team A was pressing and fouled, he said we don't switch then so we wouldn't switch on that type of rebounding foul either since the foul was after Team B already secured the ball.
