Looks like Oregon is finally adopting 3 person mechanics...sort of...
Received an email tonight from our officials association and 3 man mechanics were finally approved. Caveat being certain leagues can choose or not to choose to elect 3 man. Games are assigned via association commissioners so there will probably be, IMO, a lot of alternating between 2 man and 3 man mechanics/crews next year.
Fees are at 80% of the normal 2 man varsity rate, but playoffs next year will continue to remain 2 man. I'm looking forward to it and it's certainly long overdue! |

Agreed....and I'm wondering if the reason for that is some of the smaller associations won't have the experience/numbers to run 3 man a ton and they don't want their first experience in 3 man to be in the tournaments.

As someone who has firsthand experience screwing up in my first 3-person game, I understand the feeling.

His motivation was that he doesn't want the change in officials to alter the balance between the teams....that it will make some "illegal" plays more or less likely to be caught against him or his opponents. Some coaches design plays to set marginal screens away from the officials knowing they will not likely be caught in 2-person. With 3-person, he'll have to take some of those out of his playbook for league play and his team will not be comfortable with running them in the playoffs where the other team, whose league may have used to 2 person, may have such plays.

Transition from Two- to Three-
Quote:
Some veterans in some areas have been doing 3-person since the switch years ago, but due either to a lack of training or because of their resistance to plug into the training offered, they're still totally clueless regarding PCA's, coverages, secondaries, etc. There's still, as made fun of below, six eyes on the ball at all times. It's the bane of all officiating, in my opinion. Which is correct. I wish you and your local associations the best in this regard. Any resources needed, PM me. We've got quite a collection from all over.

So let me get this straight. The state controlled how many officials had on regular season games?
Peace

It's Not Only About The Money ...
Quote:
As long as these veteran coaches keep coaching, and keep winning, we won't see an increase in three person games. It's not quite as bad in other parts of Connecticut, but, as a state, we're still stuck in the twentieth century, and way behind the rest of the country.

Why wouldn't they? They regulate scholastic events. It is their charter to specify/approve all parts of how the games are run.

As I understand things, the OSAA has "certified" several camps as official training camps for the new 3person mechanics. I know the camp at Oregon State has been certified in such a manner. So the State is making steps to train officials. Whether the officials take advantage of those training opportunities remains to be seen.

I'm sure there will be several who do not make use of them. Hopefully, there will be some minimum requirement before we start putting people out there. I'm also hoping, that, initially, the assignor when assigning 3, will put a crew out there with a strong 3-person crew chief, a 2nd with some experience, and a 3rd that may be a rookie. No need to have 3 vererans on one game and 3 rookies on another.

Glad to see this finally went through - it remains to be seen how many leagues will actually adopt it.......could be a big mess for the commissioners until it all settles out though.... I thought Jack's email said the rate was 85%.....it also said that OAOA would be developing training in accordance with NFHS 3 man mechanics.
