There are some people who think that running is a part of officiating basketball. Well, of course it is at levels where you can't have enough people.
But at the NBA level? We all know that we're better when we're stopped to receive a play and that we're weakest when making a call on the dead run. So why not have a crew with enough people to eliminate those weaknesses?
For us, we had to fight like hell to get to 3-person being the norm. I still hear from people (some of them officials) who think we should go back to 2-person at the varsity level. But there's no reason at the top levels to restrict yourself to this kind of thinking.
