Going from 2-man to 3-man games is lot like using a remote controlled TV for the first time. You may hit a few wrong buttons and get the wrong channel a couple of times, but once you "get the hang of it" you will be amazed at how you survived with out it! You'll never want to do a 2-man game again......
The biggest benefit IMO, is game management. You have time to talk to players and coaches (they all just want to feel like you're listening to them) during key situations. You significantly reduce the chances of losing shooters, timing/scoring errors, and in general have a smooter game (substitutions, time-outs, etc).
Coaches who say they don't want a 3-man game should be "whacked" w/ a T to start the game for being REALLY stupid. Those are the coaches who have absolutely no clue about officiating.......
