I'm thinking about giving it up.

[just another ref]

A word about 3 versus 2. Nobody who has ever called a game would argue the fact that 3 officials, properly trained, can call a game better than 2. But there are many more factors to consider. Comparing most high schools to anything at the professional or collegiate levels is not realistic. Many numbers have been quoted that the total added expense would only be X amount per season, but the fact is, that X amount is sometimes a significant amount to a small school. Is a better officiating job worth X amount? Many schools quickly say no. Our association has only one school that uses 3 man. This means that the system is not at all familiar or comfortable to most of us. When you call 100 games 2 man, then 1 game 3 man, is the quality of the job any better? Sometimes probably not. Finally, consider the school, regardless of size, which for whatever reason, simply had really bad basketball teams. They know that most nights, not only will they not win, but most nights it will not be close. Are these schools anxious to provide a 3rd set of eyes to watch blowouts? NO. All things considered, all 3 man for high school ball is something that will probably never happen.
