While the spirit of ilyazhito's post is correct, for the record, some of the major rivalry regular season games will get three person crews (more likely in some local boards other than in my own). All Connecticut quarterfinal state tournament games and beyond, both genders, all levels, get three person crews, as well as those major rivalry games in earlier state tournament rounds.
The most successful (who are often the most vocal) basketball coaches in the Connecticut High School Coaches Association (I'm a former member) don't want three person crews (they believe that too many fouls will be called) for regular season games. School principals, school athletic directors, and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (the state interscholastic sports governing body) all listen to the coaches' "lobby" and voilà, mostly two person regular season games. The principals (who mainly run the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference) and athletic directors don't put up much of a fight because it saves them money. The coaches win, the athletic budgets win, and the sport loses. "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" (Meat Loaf, 1977).
