Most aren't ready for a game that "counts". Our junior varsity guy was a second year official.

We (officials) have the desire. The State interscholastic sports governing body has the desire. Coaches don't want three person crews. The successful coaches (who are the most vocal, and get the most attention) that press, and play man to man defense, believe it will lead to their best players getting in early foul trouble.
