But the HS game now is better than the small college game was 15 years ago and with the floor spread from sideline to sideline up and down the floor, 2 man WILL miss something regardless of how conditioned you are.

Tonight was one of those nights where I wish we had 3. We had a lot of jockeying in the post and a lot of cutters and screeners who were either setting borderline screens or getting chucked/held. I remember calling at least 5 off-ball fouls (and we only had 26 fouls total in the game). With 2-person and a trail on ball, the lead has no choice but to miss some of the other activity.
These days I'm in good enough shape to work any teams 2-person. I get a better workout, sure. I do enjoy the challenge. But it doesn't make for better officiating.
