3 Whistle Crew Research

1. What state are you working 3-Whistle?
2. How much are you paid?
3. How long has your state been 3-Whistle?
4. What levels are being officiated 3-Whistle? (ie: Varsity, JV, Frosh, boys and/or girls?)
5. Are you required to work more than just the Varsity game? (like both Varsity & JV...allowing school districts to save money.)

1. Illinois

2. Anywhere from $45-60 depending on the conference or school (one game).

3. Eight years (97-98 Season) for the playoffs. There were a few games worked before the state went full time for the playoffs.

4. Varsity dates mainly, but if you are have to work two games the night of the varsity date, the sophomore or JV game will have all 3 officials usually work those games as well.

5. Most of the state in my experience has the officials work the prelim games and the varsity game in the same night. Some of this is changing because veteran officials were pushing to not work both games. It also takes away an opportunity for younger officials to work a higher level of basketball.
