Was it really that bad?

If that’s true, that’s a shame. Multiple soft calls that you won’t see in NCAA-M, NBA, or the W.

Well then I blame the coaches, as they’re the ones who are giving that directive to the national coordinator. Maybe there will be some philosophical changes now given the outrage?

I’ve noticed in NCAA-W that they don’t talk players out of cheap handchecks or post fouls, something that is quite common and generally accepted in the men’s game (just look at Jeff Anderson).
