Wouldn't it just be easier to get all the Conference Commissioners/Assigners on the same page nationally...instead of letting Assigner X from Conference Big-time tell his officials to call the game the way he/she wants it called, while Assigner Y from Conference TV Contract gets to decide to have games called differently - why not let the NCAA have some "teeth" in enforcing things at that level - rather than just the memo's Hank Nichols sends out...

Rocky - at the Division I level on the women's side, we are much closer to the national consistency of which you speak. It's a matter of ego's as I see it. I.e., "I'm not letting somebody in Indy tell me how to run my damn leagues." v. "Let's all get on the same page so we can have ONE set of officiating guidelines nationally."

It's not there yet, but it's a heck of a lot closer to being achieved on the women's side.
