This is an NCAA rule, not just an NCAA Women's rule.
I will say that if the R is designated by an assignor, he does not pick this based on something as minor as to whether you can toss the ball. At the Varsity level or college level, the R is an important position if for no other reason but symbolic. Usually the senior or well respected officials are always the R. Maybe this is the reason Ed Hightower is almost always the R in his games.
