It's usually not a "crew" in the true sense of the word, as they put together a crew of the top officials (in their eyes) in the women's game. If they don't usually work together as a crew, you would be trying to guess the way the game will be called without any real basis to know how that group will get together and officiate.
Time is better spent analyzing their opponent

Hardly consistent with the opinion you put forth in our discussion earlier today. IMO.

Completely consistent, IMO. I don't think either coach would have expected that Duke- Uconn crew to officiate the way they did. So what good would it have done to think too much about it? The crew is going to get together a day or so before the game to decide how they are going to work together.

You claimed earlier the earth was knocked off it's axis by 5 deg because the game was not called as expected which lead to confusion among the players & coaches. In other words they anticipated and planned for a particular style of officiating. On the other hand, you say here that there's no use in worrying about the officials and your time is better spent making sure your team is ready to play.
