This is the 6th year I believe that the IHSA has had playoffs with 3 man in both boy's and girl's basketball in all classes (only two classes). Most down state or at least many more than in the Chicago area had 3 person for years. This will be my 7th year in basketball and I have done 3 man games for at least 4 years on a regular basis. When I moved up to the Chicago area, not a single game during the regular season was 3 man (unless tournament). Last year was the first year that almost all conferences had 3 man during the regular season. Now do not have a single varsity game that is not 3 man. I have more lower level college games that have two officials then HS games. This is the only state that is like this I am aware of until the last couple of years.
