Emphasis added. In my brief collegiate experience(and in that of some folks whose experience extends much, much further), the powers that be in NCAA-W place a great deal of emphasis on "the system" (i.e. mechanics) as the foundation for correct officiating - if everybody works the system right, then you're in the correct position for the call, and you know whose call it is, no matter who your partners are. Correct mechanics & positioning, along with discipline, prevent this from happening.
