The merits of the 2/3 man system could be debated all day. How are 3 bad officials better than 2 good ones? At a preseaon tournament, the 3 man sytem was officiated worse than any 2 man system I have seen in the regular season. Just becuase there is one more blind, whistleless official out there does not mean it is better. It is the quality of the officials themselves, not the quantity.
