Yes, our HS is 99% 2-person. Those of us who have done 3-person in college have been demo'ing 3-person (sometimes with one HS official who hasn't done much/any 3-person) in a few beginning of the season Jamborees in the hopes of getting the coaches to demand ii...and most of them do want it.

Yep. And as I said, above, the farther you are from the play, the less you can adjust your position for a better angle. So, to be able to keep a good angle, you just can't be far away.
