I used to wonder why when I watch a Women's college game or a WNBA game on tv: why are there always 2 female and 1 male ref on the crew?
Why not just have 3 female refs in there?
1. is it to show "gender balance" for th crew?
2. is it to present the best refs possible?
3. is it to appease male refs?
4. is it to balance any presumed "bias" of a gender equal ref on calls?
5. is it to enforse a "strong" presence in case a fight breaks out in a game?
Still wondering...
