Rich,
I feel for you. I'm sorry that you are stuck with 2 except for a few games.

NV has had 3 officials for BV and GV regular season games for 10 years now. We also use it for regional and state tournament contests.

As for your thoughts:
1. Yes, being in better position, having better angles, and not being physically fatigued allow for better officiating.
2. I do believe that, at first, more fouls and violations are called with 3 officials. This is because more illegal activity is observed, especially off-ball. The teams will soon realize that this stuff is getting seen and knock it off. Then the number of calls will drop and the game will be an even cleaner one than with only 2 officials.
