I would love if Oregon would mandate that every varsity game were 3 man, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Every veteran official I talk to here says they think it will be at least 5 years! I would love if the state stepped in this next season and mandated every varsity game goes 3 man. Just curious, how did Washington handle the transition? IE did they say by the year 2007 every varsity game must be 3 man? Also how did they make sure that all the officials are 3 man proficient? In Oregon it seems that only the college guys know 3 man mechanics so it would obviously take a little while to train all the officials in 3 man.
Another way I think 3 man could be brought in would be to do 3 man for summer leagues and the schools could see how much better it is versus 2 man. Granted, I haven't been in Oregon for any summer ball, so I don't know how things are handled in the summer.
