The biggest problem, if you will, that I see in NCAAW officiating is not gender-based. It's the fact that you see the same officials in the Final Four every year. Kantner, I get it–she's a former NBA official and the supervisor of WNBA officials, almost hard to leave her out I guess. But some of the other faces (Brooks and Lisa Mattingly) seem to just get penciled in every year regardless. Tina Napier is another one that you can almost always guarantee, although she didn't even get a regional this year (?).
I'm sure other women's officials are more knowledgable than I am.
