Here, you have to go to camp to learn 3 whistle mechanics and then you have to work summer ball and scrimmages to get noticed by the chapter leadership.
I really wish more places took your local approach.

"3-man is not going to go away." I further probed for what seemed to be a negative opinion on 3-man vs. 2. What he didn't like about 3-man he summarized in two words: "More Whistles." His point was not the occasional double whistle by good crews reacting to plays on the border of their PCA's, rather than he too often gets saddled with 3 guys who, as ballwatchers all, call violations and fouls at the same time. Triple whistles. That tells him that he, as an AD, was better off just having two ballwatchers cuz it's cheaper than having three. Given the respected status of this veteran coach, I accepted this as somewhat a valid commentary on the state of 3-man officiating in our area and as an emphasis to continue in our scrimmages and rules meetings. Some have simply gotta be doing a better job at PCA coverage.

This is the problem I always had, am slowly getting past it now. When you do something one way for 20+ years, then the number of people involved increases by 50%, it is hard to shake the feeling that you are in somebody else's way.

I do not put too much stock in anything coaches say. They complain when a guy works one person and they "screw up" on a call. So what a coach thinks is really silly to use that as the standard of what they want in their games. It takes time to get used to the system if you have never worked 3 Person. Coaches advocated things that are usually ignorant and self-serving. And coaches think we miss stuff when we do not call it there way. Just like yesterday in my game the home coach wanted us to call illegal screens on the other team when all they were in the first place were bad screens with no displacement. When I said to the coach, I can call that, but I will have to call the same on the other end, he did not have an answer. And most coaches just thing we should call what they want and they then use that as an excuse to not advocate the best system available to them.
Peace

The state only mandates that you work a 3-person camp during the summer if you want to work the playoffs, which for us consists of working about two camp sessions. It's good experience, but not nearly enough IMO. Basketball is at least better than baseball when it comes to 3-person officiating. Baseball is an unmitigated disaster when the state throws three guys on the field for playoff games. |

I think how many games you work at 3 person are not going make you any better at that system. If you are bad at 2 person you will be bad at 3 person. There are people that work 2 person with no concept of looking off ball or realizing when they should help their partner and when to call something in their own area. So when you have guys have no concept, working 3 person in the summer is not going to make you better. It is really about becoming a student of the game. We do not even have guys that stay and watch the varsity game anymore if they worked in front of us. You have to see plays and see how things work beyond working the system yourself.
Peace

When I work with top 3-person officials, I know I'm on the same page. When I work with people who could use a "3-person mindset transplant", I feel like I should have a mechanism (or an electric cattle prod) to shove them (or pull them) across the lane. |
