Rocky - at the Division I level on the women's side, we are much closer to the national consistency of which you speak. It's a matter of ego's as I see it. I.e., "I'm not letting somebody in Indy tell me how to run my damn leagues." v. "Let's all get on the same page so we can have ONE set of officiating guidelines nationally."

It's not there yet, but it's a heck of a lot closer to being achieved on the women's side.
It is closer to that because the same freakin officials work all the games. The same officials go to the final four all the time. There are officials that have double digit appearances at working the championship alone. Of course it is going to seem consistent when you see the very same officials on the high profile games. There are more politics on the Women's side than anything you will ever see on the Men's game.

Peace
Wow. It's been over a year since I've posted anything and JRut is still able to piss in my bowl of cereal without any qualms.

JRut - your response is truly that of someone with a chip on the old shoulder.

Maybe those same people work the final four because they do the best job of calling the game the way that Marcy and the NCAA wants it called.
