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.

Why every time someone says something that another poster does not like they have to have a chip on their shoulder? Seriously, why is that?
First of all I do not work any Women's basketball. I used to but I had to make a choice and I decided to only work Men's basketball. It was made clear I could not do both. Having said that this is not my words, this comes from the officials that work at that level. I know officials that cannot smell certain games because a very small group is always on those games. On the Men's side you can see many officials on the big games. Every year on the Men's side I see a completely different group of Final Four officials. I see the same names working the Women's Final Four almost every year. Even those that have not worked that level for years can step in and work the Championship game.
This is an observation just like you are making. I have that right to make that observation. I have seen officials that are not respected at the HS and lower level college ranks, all of a sudden get hired at the D1 level. Then the next year get fired because they could not cut the mustard. And all of this with an officials that has not worked 5 years total as an officials.
