Long switch on rebounding foul?

All of Ohio is no long switches.

I wasn't sure, thanks.

We've been doing long switches for a few years. Not really a big deal for 3-4 calls per game, really.

Here in my little corner of The Constitution State, we switch on every foul. Every single foul. All the time. Every game.

A few years ago we tried no long switches on fouls in the backcourt where there was no change of possession, i.e., A1, guarded by B1, is dribbling in his backcourt and B1 fouls A1. Backcourt? Yes. Foul? Yes. Change of possession? No. So, no long switch. Well the two year experiment failed because many couldn't figure out what a change of possession meant, and that during a try, there is no team possession, until a player gains possession. We had guys not switching on player control fouls, and on all rebounding fouls.

So, now we're back to long switches, and short switches, and in between switches. Every single foul. All the time. Every game.

Two person games. Long switches. Connecticut really is The Land That Time Forgot. Now, where did I leave my buggy whip?

IAABO is switch on every foul. Sometimes you go for a run. Sometimes you stay put. Call a offensive foul as a trail and stick around and inbound the ball. Makes up for the times you might have to go for a job.

For 3 whistle games we use FIBA mechanics. Their position is easy- go opposite the table.

Just a thought. Shouldn't we all do what the NFHS (rules/officials manual) says to do? Should be same throughout, just my opinion.

Sure. And NCAAW / NCAAM / NBA / FIBA should all be the same, too.

Ain't gonna happen.

States are "allowed" to make mechanics changes. Many do. Maybe a state allows a local association to make further changes.

I "disagree" with some of what my state has us do. I "disagree" with some of what NCAAW has us do. I still do what each of them asks me to do in the games I work for each of them, and try very hard not to mix them.
