I agree Linda it was good to see. And, Rut, it is not the norm!

I guess you have not looked at too many NCAA Women's Final Fours or WNBA games? During the Championship in the Final Four for the past 3 to 4 years, all of the officials have been women. Now there have been men doing some of the semi-final games, but the Championship is an all women crew. And even when I look at the regular season, I do not see mostly men on the floor. Not to say that it has never happen, but if I do see a man he is with two women. Now I cannot speak that much for the WNBA during the regular season, but it is not unusual when I do watch to see an all-women crew. Now if it is not the norm, I see many women doing women ball.

And a matter of fact, that has been a huge complaint that I have heard about doing Women's college. Many of the men see more and more women, they would rather not try because they feel that the women are being pushed through. Now I do not know if that is completely justified, but I do not see men doing the "big" games that I see on TV.
