If my partner rotates 5 times in one 35 second period I'm going to stop rotating with him. Because it's obvious he doesn't have a feel for the game, the team's offense or the wear & tear on my sneakers.

What are you picturing is going to happen? You think the new guy is just going to run wind sprints from sideline to sideline as the new Lead? Cats and dogs living together? Mass hysteria!!
Not nearly that bad...he'll just spend the game trying to process your advize instead of referee'ing the game.

The problem with new guys working 3-man is that they are overly-tentative about rotating. If you tell them to rotate when there's even the slightest need to do so, they will maybe rotate enough.

I'm going to withdraw from this thread now. I've made my thoughts as clear as I can, and you think they're stupid. We're obviously not going to come to common ground. If anybody wants my advice, I think you have it. If anybody disagrees, I have no problems with that either.
No, it's not your advize that's stupid, it's you (just a joke, relax. See, happy face --> ).

To sum up: Scrappie's advize is to rotate whenever you should but don't rotate if you think you might be rotating too much. But whatever you do remember to rotate, unless you don't have to. But even if you don't have to then you might want ot anyway.

Got it. Damn it's good having the go-to guy here to work this out with.
