Of course, the games where a coach is more likely to yell 50 feet across the court don't usually have three officials.
Just a thought but the one reason I can think of for IAABO delaying a return to the table-side mechanic has to do as much with us as the coaches. Some folks in stripes just can't shut up, especially the ones who should get into the book more often. When you combine that with coaches who can't shut up *and* have shaky rules knowledge nothing good can happen.
