I totaly agree w/Z and as a college official and think it is best for the game to go 3 person as it will help improve to quality of the overall officiating. I have mixed feelings about the drop in the number of officials that will be able to go to the state touranment.
Strodhal is the one who is going to take the heat because the schools don't want to pay for the 3rd official and the officials don't want to take the pay cut. I think the 3 year implementation will be the best solution but I have talked with a few officials that say it is not worth having to be at the gym at 5:30pm to watch th JV game and then do the varsity game and only get paid $33.
It will be interesting come November to see who shows up.
