True... They even had, this year, some women (gasp) working Men's D1 games -- a first for the NCAA.

So the female refs in the NBA never worked NCAA D-I?

To my knowledge that is correct.

Somehow I just knew you wouldn't believe me, but the Big Sky Conference has officials working men's and women's games.

I am sure that you are telling the truth. But I highly doubt that the conferences I expressed will ever do that. But then again, who knows what the future holds.

I was under the impression that Dee Kantner and Violet Palmer both did a Final Four Women's Game. Are you sure brad this is not true?

Dee worked one LSU game when Shaq was there. Violet never worked a men's D1 game. Tbey both worked D1 Women's finals.

Melanie Davis has been working on the men's side in the SWAC for about 4 years now.

I know lots of people including yours truly, who would LOVE to work the Big Sky. Don't get me wrong, it isn't the Big 12, ACC, Mountain West, PAC 10, etc., but it is D1.

You're probably right.

From the title of your post.......a lot of people would!! I know several guys (not you JR ) who claimed that they have absolutely no use for women's ball.....but then were given an opportunity to work D1 women's....and they were willing to sell their soul in order to get there. The D1 label, along with the $$$$ that go with the games, make a whole lot of people change their tune very quickly.

Absolutely! Heck, I'd even take the Patriot League if it meant doing a D-I game.

Kinda reminds me of what some of the fans like to scream to the A-10 refs who work my school's games: "You're a second-rate official!" (I.e., they're at an A-10 game instead of SEC or ACC, etc.) I want to turn to these boneheads and ask "Then why are you supporting a second-rate school?"

Hey, get in line!! I'm in Patriot League territory too. I just got bumped up to D2 and D3 this year, but I'd jump through flaming hoops to get a Patriot League game. (Of course, I'd prepare by wearing asbestos-lined compression shorts

You make it sound as if it were an accident. Way to go, Chuck!
