I instantly became jealous at the 3-man mechanics used. Short distances, no need to come far on the floor, no long switches. That's where I gotta get 
Looking at the differences between 2-man and 3-man closely, it is just amazing how much easier it is to cover a court with a third person. I'd gladly take 2/3 of a game fee every night to work 3-man in varsity games. But here in WI, there is no 3-man at the high school level. Ever.

Rich, you hit that nail on the head. Court coverage with 3 whistles is so much easier than with 2 whistles. I've had cases where I know that something happened, but no one could see what it was because we were either in transition or a difficult position to see AND a third pair of eyes would have been looking at that exact location.
