3 to 2

One conference of mostly class D schools, the smallest of the four classes in our state, by virtue of an administrators' decision, went back to two-man last year. Word has it the coaches are compelling the AD's to prompt the administrators to go back to three-man again this coming season. They lost the willingness of the most veteran, seasoned officials they had grown to like doing their games because many of those guys blocked themselves off of two-man games. Further problem they had was that many class C schools were hesitant to schedule home-and-home contests with them knowing that they'd get a two-man crew when playing the away game at the class D's gym.
BTW, as most on this board would agree, two-man done correctly can be done very well, as the Oregon's "archaic" way of doing it attests. Better than three-man with two or three guys watching the ball all the time. I'd rather do two-man with a good partner who exercises proper primary coverage than three-man with one or two guys whose primary consists of being able to count the number of seams on the ball at any given time.
