The schools around here were fighting 3 man crews for quite some time. Now most of them are loving it. They pay more, but they realize that 3 good officials makes the game better. Hiring 3 bad officials is the same thing as hiring a 2 man crew.
The schools are realizing that if you pay the appropriate amount to get 3 good officials, the night is way better. Heck, even 2 good officials can carry a 3rd guy if the 3rd guy isn't as good.
I think wherever all of you guys are at around the country, if your schools get a taste of 3 man and see the benefits, they will come around.
A big part of it for us was the state tourneys use 3 man crews. Why were we using 2 man crews during the season? Made no sense!
