Chuck - replace slot with C, and isn't that how all 3-person rotations are supposed to work?
I've watched a few NCAAW games this season, and it amazed me how much the officials ping-pong back and forth, rotating hither and yon. And it seemed that on quite a few occasions that they would get caught mid-rotation.

I know that the NCAAW feel the need to mirror the NBA mechanics in every way, but I sincerely wonder how rotating so often makes the game a better officiated one.
