Origin of the Three-Person System?

Does anybody have any reliable historical information as to the origin of the three person system? I had heard that it was developed in Cleveland, Ohio sometime in the seventies, and that the original intent was to provide more complete off-ball observation, but cannot legitimize any of that one way or the other. Does anybody know who came up with the system and about when? Was it a collaborative effort bye a committee or was there one person who developed it?
Thank you in advance for your response if you happen to know anything on this topic.

I recently heard a story about the origins of 3-man, but I forget the names evoked.

Question

Maybe the first person to schedule 3 person had multiple personality disorder?

The National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada was the predecessor of the NFHS and NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committees (pre 1977-78 or 1978-79 season) and I know that it was publishing a three-person mechanics manual for both boys'/girls' H.S. and men's college as early as the 1971-72 season and earlier.

Origin of the Three-Person System?

Asked a couple of NBA official friends and I was told Darrell Garretson is the father of the 3 person system.

I thought I did. Lol. I guess I need to improve my comprehension skills. Sorry for the misinformation.

4 whistle coming??

We may be seeing the harbinger of the next evolution of 4 whistle officiating.

NBA G-league will be running 4 man crews the entire month of November.

Trialled 4 man and 5 man crews in a few games last year.

And if my memory is correct you are the Proud Papa of a couple of officials that worked those trial games.
