I think the reason we feel lost when watching a Women's game is because most of us are used to Mens games. Please allow me to say that I am not talking down Womens college basketball for I am a Womens college official and I did tune in to the Womens Final Four. I think we are just not use to watching Womens games that often, so we feel a little lost at times. We can lay some blame on the media. I think is bad that the Womens college season does not get exposure until tournament time. I DO NOT at all think Mens officials are better then Womens officials. We are all one body of people doing the same job at the sametime and working hard at what we do.

John,
This has never been about gender of the officials, but the type of game that attracts us to officiate. I admit that when I started that going as high as the NBA was my dream. There was no WNBA or ABL for that matter when I started. I never imagined doing Women's or Girl's Basketball when I started. And now that I have done both, I still perfer the Men's game. And it appears that most feel the same, because if they did care all that much about the Women's game, then we would be talking about plays and calls all day long on this site. And to prove that even further, did anyone create a bracket for the Women's game?
For those that love to be critical of us that make our preference known, your silence has proven my point once again. If the Women's game or just officiating of the Women's game was so important, why are you not posting calls or situations that were weird or unusual. But then again, that would be PC and that does not fit in the equation.
This is why I asked, "is anyone paying attention to the Women's Tournament." By the posts and the silence, the answer was a resounding NOOOOOO. I admit I was not paying attention, do you so called "Women Officials" that love nothing but, doing the same?
Peace
