Every one of them said yes. They might not have the $$ in the current budget, but if they can get the money to cover the cost...IT IS NOT A MONEY ISSUE.
There will always be a "learning curve" when you create the 3rd slot, but that works itself out over time. We can train officials all we need to and the best learning occurs on the court.

You think it's a coach's job to do fund-raisers so the school can pay for a 3rd official?
