Wink Does it really matter why?

Dewey1,

We all have preferences. That is why there is a Men's side and there is a Women's side. Usually you cannot do both. So if you like the Women's mechanics, do Women's games. Personally that is not an issue I really care that much about. But I do think the Men's mechanics are much more reasonable and are better way to call the game. The Men's are more inline with the NF Mechanics as well. The Women Mechanics spend too much time trying to be like the NBA. Dewey1, we all have a right to like something over something else. But at the end of the day, who cares what we think individually on this. It is not going to change because we do not like what the NCAA has decided for the mechanics (or CCA). I think going tableside after a foul is rather stupid. But that is what they changed to.

And the CCA books do not do what you suggest anyway. There is no "shot clock violation" logic behind any last second shot situation on either level. So this is really a empty discussion as to how the situation should be handled. The Women only give one official that responsibility and it does not change even if the ball is on the other side of the court and right in front of the L. The C is still the one with the call. No different than the Men's side. Only difference, they do not have to be opposite the table.

Peace
