This posting is a great example of why Barb Jacobs should be ashamed of herself for allowing an NBA/WNBA rule into the NCAA Women's Rules. Why does B1 have to deliberately touch A1 who has control of the ball? A1 is holding the ball and just standing and B1 has to touch A1. This is the type of nonsense rules that just promotes rough play. B1 does not need to touch A1 because A1 is standing right in front of her. A1 takes exception to being touched and slaps B1's hand away. You can see where I am going with this.

By the way Bart, girls play at high school basketball and women play college basketball. As someone, who officiated his first women's college game in November 1974, at the tender age of 23, all of today's players in any women's game I officiate are girls, but they are still women.
