The 3 versus 2 fallacies, a mini-rant

Keep your head up. If even Iowa has made the move to 3 person for the post-season, there is still hope for Wisconsin. Iowa still played 6-on-6 girls' basketball until the mid-90s!

Btw, we get anywhere from $60-85 each for a V-DH or JV/V game with 3 officials. Three officials aren't mandatory during the regular season, but are encouraged. Most of the schools are open to the extra official and very few make us split 2 checks 3 ways. In the past, my crew has done that several times, but we knew the experience would be worth it when the Association and Union (yes, we have a boys' association and a girls' union) made the switch. Some schools are paying $80/per official with $25 mileage! I found one school paying $45/per for a V-DH and $30 in mileage. We won't be heading back there anytime soon.
