Actually, in 3-man, there is only a small area of overlap in coverage, so double whistles in the paint may occur, but not much anywhere else - unless you have a ball-watcher. Even regarding the paint, in your pre-game you will talk about what C, T, and L have. For example, you might discuss and agree that L never call rebounding fouls (aka "over the back" - I hate even using that term).

In 3-man you are taught to "trust your partners" and to let them live or die in their own areas. Now, if an elephant presents itself and there is no call....
