Why are three Refs used in High School BB games?

16th region pays $55 each for 3 man and $65 for 2 man, so a difference of $35 total for a varisty game, not that big a financial burden if you ask me.

 

Let's say 12 home games. That is $420 for the boys.

Title IX is going to say that you have to have 3 man crew for girls too. So, you are asking for $840 additional costs for adding another official for home games.

 

$35 per game is not a big chunk of change until you spread it out over a whole season for both varsity teams.

Does title IX really state that? It is up to each individual coach on whether they want two or three officials. I would imagine if the boys coach wanted 3 and the girls wanted 2 or vice versa that would be fine. I know there are some boys coaches that only want two because their teams tend to be more physical off the ball and they are hoping that isn't picked up like it would be in a 3 man.:confused:

I have not seen a game this season that has even came close to not having the attendance to pay the officials like sometimes in other small sports. At $4 a head at the door, thats around 42 adults to pay for refs.

Part of Obama "spread the wealth plan":laugh:

What if the ball is being shot when the block/charge (blarge) happens but it does not go in? As there is no team control or player control on a shot you have to go to possession arrow. If player driving to hoop has ball when blarge happens it is POI, or the offensive team keeps it. Both fouls are reported. It sucks when this happens but it does happen on both three and two man crews.

Correct.

Just called a BBA member It costs the school 160.00 for two and 210.00 for three.:thumb:

In the 8th region it is $75 each for a 2 person varsity game and $65 each for a 3 person game...so, $150 vs. $195...an increase of 23%...well worth the difference!

 

FYI...all regular season district games are 3 person crews in the 8th Region...

I have also heard the argument that 3-man crews are somehow "handicapped" due to indecision regarding call responsibilities.

 

It just seems to me that with having to watch (and listen to, in some cases) 10 players, coaches, the ball, boundary lines, the clock, etc.; that 3-man crews should be the norm. Especially in light of the athleticism and physicality that is part of today's game.

LBBC, are you saying that this, for lack of a better term, "officials' equity" already exists?

 

Or that if 3-person crews are mandated on the boys' side, that the same would have to happen on the girls' side as well?

A good 3-man crew has no problems with indecision.
