I would agree that the 3 man crew is definitely the way to go to help on rebounding action. We can alleviate some of this big discrepancy in quailty by being more aggressive from the trail in 2 man. Many times we see the push in the back, or the backside hack, but we are too intimidated to call it because we feel that the call was "not in our area" or we were "too far away" to sell the call. IF WE SEE THE FOUL LET'S CALL THE DAMN THING! The same is crucial in the 3 man game. Instead of wondering whose call it is, let's have 2 or even 3 whistles in certain situations. Summer shootouts and tournaments are good times to work on mechanics of the 3 man crew. We have summer tournaments and have experienced 3 man officials offer their positive feedback on how younger officials can get more comfortable with the mechanics, so that when the games come, they don't have to worry about it. They can just call the game and the game will be better because of it. On a totally different note, I am attempting to get picked up by the big sky conference this weekend at a camp. Wish me luck!! :^)
