I watched the Women's Final Four just like I watched the Men's...didn't have any big complaints or gripes about either one, so felt no desire to post about either Final Four...now that the question has been asked - again- I will say again that I usually don't respond to these types of posts, but some days I can't resist...are Men's officials bettter than Women's? What an assinine question - of course not. Are the mechanics, points of emphasis, floor coverages different? Yep...that may be why some are so lost watching the Women's games...I will also say that quite often I have no clue why Men's officials make/don't make certain calls, and why they make them from the Lead position when the C has a much better look at the play, but then I don't know the Men's mechanics, etc...I will also say that I had to choose several years ago between doing Men's or Women's ball...I choose Women's NCAA ball - knowing the quality of play would not be as high - but I chose Women's because I was sick of the egos on the Men's side...the attitude of people like Mr. Rutledge and many others I encountered doing Men's games really turned me off...I have found - so far - that the officials on the Women's side are much more fun to work with and to hang around with before and after games...again, just another person's two cents worth...
