Is there any objective data on what three-whistle means to your average high school game? I don't mean anecdotes, but has anyone compared number of calls made, or looked at a significant number of tapes and figured out objectively whether there is a statistically significant improvement in how well a game is officiated.
If you have to ask, then there's no point in even posting the information. You wouldn't believe it anyway.
