The women's coverage is just silly, IMHO.

Maybe its not silly at all. It seems wierd at first, but once you use the women's coverage, which is the same as the NBA, it makes the leads job a whole lot easier. In NCAA M the lead has post responsibility. That means when a play is coming out of the Lead's primary, the lead must pick it up out of his periphery and then referee that play as it is already developing. In NCAA W the lead picks up the ball at the freethrow line extended and then can referee the play if it developes to the basket. Makes it much easier to referee the whole play rather than just part of it.
