Womens D-I

Rut, we agree. You actually made some of my points. You are much more likely to hear backstabbing and gossip on the women's side than on the Mens side. On the Men's side you will hear more 'This si the way I think it should be done so FU if you think otherwise". Granted that this is a 'generalization' but fairly accurate and neither is exactly flattering for either side. I make no claim, no think one can be made, that either side is "better" then the other. I will say that they are different and fit some personalities better than others.
As for the "Big Games" you may be right, I know alot of officials work for multiple "Big Time" conferences. Several work for the ACC AND Big East or the SEC and ACC. Since that is where most of the top 25 teams reside (Duke, Carolina, Maryland, UConn, Rutgers, ND, Tennessee, LSU, UVa, just to name a few) then you probably will see the same officials on each game. I do not know if the same cross Big Time conference is the same or not. It also has to do with a type of parity on the Men's side. For instance, the WVU / Uconn Men's game should be more competitive then the WVU / UConn women's game. But that is another topic
And face it, you are just jealous we can still use both hands to report because it looks so darn cool!!

Actually the Men's side can do that to. But you will never see me do it. It looks stupid.

My guess is that it will be the required mechanic on the Men's side within 5 years.

Wow, you are very anal towards NCAA-W Basketball. The last time I checked, the pay was the same and we even now we have dunking in our game. With your attitude/opinions, I am suprised you made it out of JV basketball......

Thank you for proving my point BTW. I did not ask you what you were paid. Nor do I care what you are paid. I can tell you that I have yet to meet an official on the Men's side that cares what they are paid compared to Women's basketball. One of the reasons they are not there.

And the funniest comment of all was the JV comment. Thank you for the laugh.

I dont see the point that was proven and I wasn't talking about what I was getting paid at all. It was a general statement. I see you just pull out the things your can feast on. All I am saying is that discrediting the way things are done on the womens side is not good business. We are all Officials and we can learn from each other.

Peace.

You obviously did not read what I said earlier. Then you said the very thing why Women's NCAA Officials like to say often, which seems like a justification for doing that level as if they do not want to. Worked with a guy this weekend that made it clear he does not want to work that level and made a similar comment.

Take a chill pill. I think anyone can question, comment or evaluate the way anyone does something and especially if that applies to the NCAA Men's or Women's side, NBA and even the NF. Give me a break if you think people here cannot comment because it hurts your feelings. There are things the NBA does I would never want our levels to do. Does that mean I cannot do that either because you say so? And I have not only worked NCAA Women's ball and I have seen it done for years. I do not have to accept something just because they do it or where they claim they pull the ideas from. Also the rules and the way the games are played are different, the mechanics should reflect those differences.

Rut -

For the longest time I was in your camp, now I am starting to change a bit.

I am all for most NBA philosophies, I just think we need to LOOK like college

officialswhile we are officiating What in your opinion are some of the things

they do in the NBA that you hope we (NCAA - M) never do???

Hey Rut are you going to have a new Senator in Illinois tonight ?????

It only looks stupid to those who do not have the advanced motor and cognitive skilles to use both hands at once!
