Which Ref Is Correct?

State tournament games are not three person until the quarterfinal round.

Why? Maybe it's about money, or lack of training, or the number of officials needed on a nightly basis, but it's mainly due to the fact that the most powerful coaches in the state coaches association are fearful that more fouls will be called, they don't want three officials, and state high school interscholastic sports governing body does what the coaches lobby wants.

Maybe I've grown too used to 3-man JV/V. Wonder if I'm in trouble if I ever move and have to acclimate to a new association.

I'd probably retire if I had to go back to 2-person. I've had a good run.

We are doing 3 person for the first time at the high school level in Oregon this season on a limited basis.

It requires opt-in from both the officials association and the school league/conference. In our area we have two conferences that have opted in at the varsity level only for this season.

Speed it up!

If I ever moved it'd probably be back to Oregon.
