Perhaps my mind has not quite molded to the entire offiicating mindset, but why the change in officials at Tourney time?
THinking as a former player and coach, this would be a difficult adjustment. I don't think there would be much argument to say that there is a difference between a game called by a three man crew and a game called by a two man crew. If my team and style are dictated all year by what happens in two man crew, why is it a good thing to be forced to adapt in the tournament to a different style of game? There is no question using a 3-man crew is better, but it would be better ALL year not just the tournament.

Yes it is an ajustment on coaches. But many places are still in transition from 2 man to three man officiating systems. Why the differentce. 1) not enough officials to call three man all the time in district play. 2) more officials get to call a tournemant game if they are done three man. In my area of Texas. You will not be forced to have three officials until you get to the state final four. The coaches get to choose two man or three man for the playoff games before that time.
