I'm in an area where anything sub-varsity is 2 man. I've gotten to the point where I'm working more than ten varsity games througout the course of my season, thus switching back and forth between 2 and 3 man mechanics.
This season, I've become so much more comfortable in 3 man, and I love it. Obviously, working with higher caliber partners helps, but I really enjoy having that much more court coverage with the extra set of eyes. I often stay and watch the varsity game after my sophomore prelim to try and pick up a thing or two from the varsity crew. I haven't worked enough 3 man games to hate 2 man, but if I had the option to add a third...
If I had my way in this area, Varsity and JV would be 3 man (here, JV games are comprised of varsity players who don't get a lot of minutes), assignors would have the option of adding a third official to boys sophomore games (there's a lot of games around here that could use a third), and freshman and youth games would remain 2 man.
