Chuck unlike yourself I do not need to drink a beer to tell this board what I think about issues. And I did not say you made an overgeneralization (get it right), I said you exaggerated that the point I make about women's basketball only comes from me. The reality is most officials I know have a preference between Men's and Women's ball. The truth is that many here are afraid to say what they think.

I also think the point that stripes makes, is that many people have the same attitude.

Stripes can speak for himself. And he already did.

The one that needs to lighten up is you Chuck. As usual you think this is an emotional topic when it is not even a blip on the radar. If you did not want to respond, why use my name to make a joke? And I got the joke, just stated that I am not the only one that feels that way and stripes made that very clear. You claim to be an accomplished official (despite your shortcomings) that has done D3 Men's Playoffs if I am not mistaken. Do you tell me that you do not find other officials that say the same thing if not worse about women's basketball. Because if assignors in my area will not hire officials because they are considered "girl's" officials, then I am sure this is the case around the country. It is not like when Annika Sorenstan played in the Memorial PGA Event, that the only critics came from Illinois. But then again, you do not want to have a "real" discussion about an issue, you just want to live in your protected world of fantasy. I would feel so constrained by lying to myself and everyone about what I really think about something. Not the way I was raised, not the way I have lived.
Peace
