Do you mean below 100:1? Then, we're already there, since nationwide the ratio of male to female basketball officials is about 10:1, and even lower in some localities.

JR, it's not a chip on the shoulder. It's an insistence that the reality of females in the fellowship be recognized. You'd never know it on this board, but there are lots and lots of female basketball officials, and the language needs to reflect that.

Now you guys can bait all you want to, if that makes you happy. I'm going to spend the weekend worrying about something more important than the fragility of the male ego.
