Rich, I've seen firsthand that the assigner must be on point because they can use the weak 3rd official as a reason to go back to two. It happened in Nevada up until they split what nights they play games on from two nights to four nights a week. This allowed for stronger crews. I'm sure there were other reasons but this played a part. In the DC area certain schools/leagues use 2 or 3 depending on money and/or if the coach wants to get away with more stuff.
