Long switch on rebounding foul?

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

We're told "no long switches". Might just be a thing we do in central Ohio.

In TX we are not doing long switches either...whether possession had changed or not.

All of Ohio is no long switches.

I wasn't sure, thanks.
