You guys just can't accept an opinion different from your own.
In Oregon I will fight forever to be cost conscience and not support three person crews.
That is my personal opinion and I will retain it.
The problem with these sites is that the officials are very non-receptive of any other opinions than their own.
Cost is an issue. Ignore it if you want but your are pricing yourself out of the market.
I am writing an article right now for High School Today titled "Can We Afford High School Athletics?"
Not sure we can . . .

You're cocky but not arrogant? Whatever dude....good luck with your writing career.
As APG said if you want to argue the cost for high schools of 3 person vs 2 person that is one you can make but it is entirely different than saying, "all 3 person does is make officials lazy."
And the cost argument is a weak one. If whether or not "we" can afford high school sports" comes down to an extra official for basketball games for a certain school district or area then they probably can't afford scholastic sports. Because to say that is a deciding factor the overall affordability of all scholastic sports is simply ridiculous.
And who is pricing themselves out of the market? I work all 3 person varsity ball and if that were to change I would not officiate HS ball anymore. Another ignorant statement.
