They will. More illegal screens, chucking the cutters, and other stuff away from the ball. But overall there won't be more fouls -- some plays that are currently called fouls will be seen better and no-called.

I give you credit, though. I've already decided if we ever go back to 2-person my days of working are over.

Get rid of the multisyllable words in your post and I'll forward it to the state basketball coaches association.

Well said Rich! That's exactly what a 3 man crew will catch.
