Here are my opinions:
1. The 3-person system is superior to the 2-person system, if done correctly. There is no question about that.
2. The 3-person system requires three strong officials, not 2 varsity guys and someone who really should be working JV. If the area doesn't have enough quality officials to staff the games adequately for 3-person, then it should just use 2.
3. I enjoy working 2-person much more than 3 at the HS level. I enjoy the challenges that 2-person officiating presents and like the better physical work-out.
4. I don't believe that the HS game really warrants 3. The college game does. The bigger court, bigger players, faster action, and longer game length all justify it.
5. I'm in a state that currently uses 3 for all varsity games on both the boys and girls sides. I wish that we would revert to 2.
6. There is no way that I would work a 3-person system and split a 2-person fee. If the schools want a third official then they should pay for that person.
