As to the championship, I'm thinking Bryan Burnette will be on the court. He was the ALT last year and on the women's side that tends to mean you get the Chip the next season.

Which two female officials will be with him?

It may/may not be that way but you'd never hear me complain about it, even if I was at that level. As one of my supervisors said a few seasons ago, "We're in their game."

Oddly enough, none of my NCAAW supervisors is female. If I get picked up by one or more of the conferences I'm going for this summer that will change but the only female supervisor I work for is in NYC GV. I worked about 40 3-person games NCAAW & HS combined this past season. I had a female partner in 13 of those games (two unlucky women worked with me twice ). I had only one game where I was partnered with two women.

Actually it's mainly D2 conferences but I wouldn't turn away A-10/Patriot . At any rate there are four D2s in my neck of the woods that have schools I can reach. D2 is the first level where I see female officiating supervisors.

Speaking of Bob Scofield, I noticed he was the alternate on Sunday.

Not to segway on this thread, but I'm sure this has been discussed here before, and I'm wondering why any of you think we will get over the "gender" card in the striped world and there will come a day when a woman will be able to work mens' ball on a regular basis and have an opportunity to maybe someday work the tournament, and maybe even a Final Four?

An annual thread at this exact time of year, at least for as long as I've been a member.

So, random thought -- were Americans always this bad at spelling or are we just noticing it more now that everyone's online?

This wasn't a misspelling, it was a misused word. People have been misusing words in their conversations forever. When you misuse a word on an Internet board like this, 100 people see it. When you misuse it in a conversation, only a few people may notice.

And if a word is a homonym (or close), you can't tell during oral conversation if a person used an incorrect word or not. "Not to Segway..." and "Not to segue..." would sound the same.

I don't think there's as much of a "gender card" as many think, especially now that there are females working in the NBA and NFL.

But a female official with any talent at all will be working a full college schedule in less than 5 years and will be working at the D1 level in less than 10 (or even earlier). That rarely happens on the men's side. Why would a female official make that choice? Especially when there's a huge thumb on the scale at every level for females in the women's game....
