Interesting. But it makes sense--with good/experienced referees. From the comfort of the stands, I've had games with three officials who did not appear experienced or strong where calls seem to come out of nowhere--almost as if the particular ref felt "left out" and had to find something. But overall, as a spectator, I haven't noticed more fouls in three man. Alas, I don't know that is an apples to apples comparison, as the three man I see is almost entirely league games, and those games seem to have good refs.
