In 3-person, it's okay for the same person to remain in the position he's in, but in 2 person, we have to switch! Give me a break! At least in the NBA, they make the other 2 officials switch on these type of fouls which to me is better than everyone staying where they are.

I have never had a problem calling fouls on a player. If he deserves it, he's getting a foul, no matter where I'm at on the court. To suggest that they are concerned about me calling the same foul on the same player if he committs the same act again because I'm in the same position again, is bush league thinking, imo.

The difference in "logic" between the two is this....in 3 whistle games, the natural flow of rotations takes you from postition to position and therefore, maybe a different official makes the call as opposed to the same official dinging the same player two times in the same spot.., in two whistle this doesn't happen, you don't even switch sides....
