I agree that there were too many calls across the lane in the tournament. I try to hold my whistle across the lane unless a secondary defender comes from my area and jumps in front. I know somewhere here there have been posts with statistics from the pros on how reaching across the lane leads to a lot of missed calls. I thought they did a great job last night, although I thought Oden should have been stuck a couple of times for hanging on the rim, the Florida player should have been stuck for his little shimmy dance after a dunk, and Noah very well could have been stuck for his throwing 2 hands at an official after his 3rd foul in the 1st half. I just hate seeing this stuff happen on that big of a stage because you know it is going to trickle down to us. As another member of this forum said recently (making me choke on my adult beverage, "Noah is absolutely the best women's player in the nation, hands down."
