All I am saying is that things are not wonderful on the Women's side. There is politics on the Women's side just like the Men's side. I am not talking about just with who gets hired at that level, but you cannot tell me that the same officials have to work the Final Four every single year. When I read Referee Magazine when and they interview an officials and you see their resume, you would think no other officials exist on the Women's side. There are some very good Men's officials that we see on TV that only have one or two total Final Four appearance in 30 years of working. While someone on the Women's side has over 10 Final Four appearances with barely 20 years of experience. Something does not sound right if that is the case.

Now that is a personal opinion and I have the right to have that opinion. If those that work Women's basketball have no problem with that, then so be it. It is your right to not have the problem. I just would like to work a level where at some point I might be able to get that opportunity to work the Final Four, then if I am not the right person I will see other officials work more than 10 chances over hundreds of officials that deserve the right opportunity. In my state they basically put a cap on 3 State Final opportunities. There are several officials that get those opportunities as a result. Or maybe the officials that get the opportunities are the best and the overall quality is lacking in the mind of the NCAA. Either way that does not shed a good light on Women's NCAA Assignments. It is either quality or politics from what I see.
