After reviewing the list the NCAA can select from, here is my pick for officials of this years Womens Final Four in San Antionio.
Semi Final #1 or #2
Lisa Mattingly(R)
Yvetter McKinney(U-1)
John Morningstar(U-2)

Semi Final #2 or #1
Melissa Barlow(R)
Tina Napier(U-1)
Bryan Enterline(U-2)

NCAA Final
Sally Bell(R)
Barb Smith(U-1)
Scott Yarbrough(U-2)
Alternate Official-Mary Day

Not that they care or should they care what I think, I sure hope they do a better job than that Tenn-Vanderbilt game last night.

My guess would be Barlowe instead of Smith on the Champ game...Melissa did the semi last year and will probably get the bump up to the Final this go-around...

You are probably right rocky. Barlow should get the bump. However, I am a big Barb Smith. I feel she ranks as one of the top 5 womens officials in the country. Barb is from Michigan and so is Tom Rucker, hopefully Michigan can have some representation in both Final Fours.

Good luck with all that!

BTW, does Sally Bell work the Championship game every year?

In regards to Sally Bell, your assumption BktBallRef would be correct. Sally is the most highly respected D-1 womens college official in the game. She normally gets the call to work the Final. Also, in my opinion Sally Bell, Mellissa Barlow, Barb Smith, and Lisa Mattingly are all probably the top women officials in the game. All four of these officials do an outstanding job in every game they work. No offense to your previous post JRutledge, but I thought Lisa Mattingly and her crew did a very good job with Tenn/Vandy womens game Monday night.
