What if the best of the best have already called 3 finals? Couldn't that "quantity over quality" theory cheat the kids out of the best officials?

I'm quite confident that most states have plenty of officials that are capable of officiating any level of state championship game.

I'm not quite as confident as you.

"Best" officials? How about qualified officials? "Best" is such a subjective term.
You're saying that in the entire state of Michigan there aren't enough 3-whistle crews so different ones work state finals every season? I can't imagine that.
I'm in Wisconsin -- 2 whistles, 4 classes (girls and boys). Means only 16 officials can work state finals every season. In my opinion, you should get one of these in a career. There are certainly enough quality officials in a state to rotate this around so that all that are qualified get a shot at the brass ring.
What incentive is there when an official looks at the list of state officials and sees the same names year after year?
