The association needs to push it but more importantly the State association for high school sports needs to push it. It sounds like from what you get paid, you could split it 3 ways and still do pretty good compared to others in the country.
Some coaches at the high school level oppose going to 3-man also because they feel that they get 2 good officials and one lesser official. They would rather have 2 strong officials. What they do not see is that if the 3rd official is at least looking off ball it cleans up the game tremendously.
In Nevada we have been doing 3-man for several years for the large schools girls and boys. The benefit is that comes during playoff time, we have a good pool of officials well trained and game tested in 3 man mechanics. If your state uses 3-man in playoffs etc.. but not during the year, it is a great benefit to have more officials ready to go and not just trying to adjust to the mechanics.
Good luck and keep pushing for 3-man.
