Name one official on the Men's side that has less than 5 years total experience and is working D1 ball. I can think of about 3 that happen to on the Women's side. Not 5 years of HS varsity experience, 5 years of total basketball officiating experience.
Give me one name and I will accept your point of view.

Duke Edsall was hired to work in the ACC in the early 1980's. At the time he had less the 3 years experience. He worked his first final four in 2002.

That was 25 years ago. Name someone today or in the last 5 years. Teddy Valentine got hired at the D1 level without working a single HS varsity game. But that was over 20 years ago when that happens. Teddy has worked 2 Final Four games if I am not mistaken. Let us talk about today. I can name 3 officials in the past 5 years that were hired with less than 6 years of experience on the Women's side. Not only did that raise eyebrows when that happen, but these same officials did not work an extensive lower level college schedule when they were hired.
I realize this is an emotional issue (not sure why when we rip Men's officials here all the time for their mechanics and rules knowledge), but let us deal with facts. Stop trying to defend something that you just want to get upset over.
