I'm with MTD on this one.

L needs to be able to see between the players to see if there is really contact. Many times L is guessing if there is contact or not. In two person mechanics, L has no option other than guess.

IMO, the hardest transition from 2 whistle to 3 whistle is the L position. L needs to be very patient with whistle and quit thinking there is a foul and knowing that there is a foul. Trusting T and C to be in position to make the fouls. T and C need to be able to see through the lane and take the match ups that they have a clean view of. Displacement is the key in calling these fouls. If you can't see between the players then you have business calling the foul.

Players are so much more athletic, quicker and jump out of the gym. THe higher the level you work the better you need to be at this.
