Gator,

That sounds great if you are working games where all the top teams play each other. That is not really what most of us are talking about. We are talking about when a top team plays a team that is in the middle of the road. I used to officiate Women's college basketball. A 50 point blowout was not out of the question. I worked Men's college game this year in a tournament. One team was a JV team player a middle of the road program. The JV team almost won the game in the final minutes.

If you look at the D1 Tournaments, the Men's side was wide open. Teams that you would have never guessed got to the Elite 8 and even Final Four. On the Women's side, there were blowouts all over the place and the teams expected to make noise did just that. There were a couple of blowouts on the Women's, but not as many as the Men's side.

You can always find somewhere in the country that has great basketball. We are just saying it is not the norm.

Peace
