I don't recall (virtually) meeting you. Hello, my name is Tom and I'm not your huckleberry.

Seriously, I'm very much aware that 3-man cannot be taught in 15 minutes, but I think something can always be gained from a good pregame. The more the OP knew about his crew the better they could have done. Maybe not in a structured way they were supposed to, but with a higher call accuracy.
Your post seemed to me to indicate that a pregame would have helped with 3 man mechanics. I apologize for reading too much into it. However, there is a big difference between a 2 man pre-game and a 3 man pre-game. Must of what you cover in a one does not apply to the other, namely because you are talking about specifics involving the mechanics you will be using. Sure there are things that transfer over. However, I do agree with you that a good pre-game is a must.
