Question: For schools that use the 2 man system, do both refs receive "center" pay?
If so, then having 2 centers in lieu of a center and 2 assistants isn't saving a whole lot.
And assuming cost is the issue (and not availability), can't schools just charge an extra $1 a head to cover the added ref cost? I think most fans would support a price increase if it was going to pay for a 3 ref crew.
