I agree with John. Too many times I see Men's officials calling all over the place (usually across the paint). Also, sometimes you see the men's officials get beat very badly back, then guess at a call. One example sticks out in my mind during a UK games last year. The official had barely broken the 28 ft mark on a breakout. The UK player stripped the ball clean and was called for a foul. No longer can we say "it looked like a foul". YOu have to be sure. The mechanics are designed to put the officials close enough to the action to see the plays and the womens mechanics are superior if you ask me and the people I work with and for. If you are too old and slow to get in position anymore(it happens to us all!), please take time to reevaulate and let some younger guys have a chance!
