Juulie, as harsh as it may sound. I think the answer to why this is is simple. The men's game generates the most scrutiny from the press. I don't think it really has anything to do with a higher quality of officiating in the women's game. I think that's what Trigger was getting at.
I hope that's what Trigger was getting at.

Harsh? No, but probably an accurate assessment of the situation. I'm not saying it has to do with the quality of officiating -- refs on the women's side are probably "just as bad" in this writer's eyes. Perhaps worse. It's just incredible to me that such a huge piece of college basketball as the entire women's side can be so completely ignored. It adds to his lack of credibility, I think.
