From the article:

"The state's basketball referees are the lowest paid among all officials who work for the MHSAA."

And at $40 per game, or even $45 if they got that raise the MHSAA was offering, I'd venture to guess they're the lowest paid officials in the COUNTRY. Heck, we get $45 per game for MIDDLE SCHOOL. Granted, it's 2 man, but still...

I'd rather make $60 each 3-person. So would a lot of other officials.

There are a few three person games in Connecticut. Not many, but a few, usually between top notch, big-city schools. My little coroner of Connecticut is more suburban, or rural, so I can't tell you what the three person fees are.
