What is up with AZ?

I know they "we don't have the money" card is routinely played when the issue of going to 3 person is brought up. When this was being discussed in UT, I asked several coaches if they could fund raise the extra $500 they needed each year to pay for the 3rd official (10 home games @ $50/game). 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.
