In which case the coach hold up however many fingers for the minutes left in the game (or shakes his/her head "no") and we just keep playing.

I see your point but I think a running clock could serve this consensual purpose just as well, if not better.

The clock is running while the team is stalling.

Depends on the definition of need, I guess.

The oldtime NBA guys didn't think they needed 3 in the 1980s, either. Same argument I hear from some oldtimers here at the HS level -- they think those who push the hardest for 3 can't hack it with 2.

I heard one top official locally say in the last 3 years that they should eliminate 3 in our biggest conference and just hire the best people to work 2 for more games and pay them 1.5 times as much.

From an officiating viewpoint, I love the physical, and mental, challenge of the two person game. But, in my heart of hearts, I know that three person is best for the game.

Don't get me wrong as I think 2 man helps a tremendous amount but it is not a necessity for a majority of HS level games.
