Bill Kennedy, Matthew Boland, Michael Henderson, Tony Brown, Derrick Collins, Ed Malloy, Courtney Kirkland, Pat Fraher, Ed Malloy, and Jason Phillips all officiated in the WNBA prior to moving to the NBA. If you want to know who maybe next, watch the WNBA Finals. Most, if not all these officials worked the Finals.

Joe DeRosa worked D1 men's, not women's. He only worked college for three years before being picked up by the NBA.

And yes, D1 men's officials defintely receive a higher game fee than D1 women's officials.
