The fact is that three person, worked properly, puts officials in better positions to see plays and also allows officials to see the entire play rather than just the end of it. I don't know how you could argue that not to be better.  |
You tackled the point: if these are competent officials that work properly, then Yes. The extra set of eyes will increase the chances of calling the play correctly. However, in my original post I said just because there are three stripes on the court, that doesn't mean the game will officiate better (given if the three zebras aren't competent of three-person officiating).
I'm not arguing two person officiating is better than three. But I would much rather work a two person game if I can trust one of my partners versus working a three-person game if I can't trust one or both of them. JMO!
