In his tournament, sure. I bet he wishes he had the power to affect the officials the conferences hire. You can hear it in what he says.

I feel bad for those officials who are too young to get a healthy schedule, yet too old by Adams' standards.

Then, after the first kicked call...
The line from the "experts" will be..."It's too bad this great game had to ruined by the inexperience of that ref. If only they had put veterans on the game who know how to handle the situation..."

If you make it to Division 1 basketball you have already had a ton of basketball officiating experience.

Can you, with absolute certainty, say that on the women's side when talking about women officials?

Yeah but since when did the common-taters care about facts like that?

Not in Women's basketball. I know of many officials that got there in 5 years. That is not a lot of experience if you ask me.

Peace

As a guy who works Women's side, I can concur completely with that above statement....

As a guy who works on the women's side in D1, I can agree that happens with YOUR current supervisor (only because I workED for him too ) Here we go again playing to the typical stereotype that W officials are inferior. There are plenty of officials working D1 men's who don't have the experience either, but of course you guys have to single out the women's officials. I made it there at the age of 26, I assume by you guys standards I don't have the experience either. Always entertaining around here

Geez, and I thought how the NBA handled the Durant call last year was bad.

Between his comments last night without having seen the video first and now this, Adams comes off as reactionary. It sounds like he's trying to please ESPN's talking heads more than actually putting the best officials in the tournament.

The best officials, no matter what age, should call the tournament. I know that may be naive, but that's how I see it.

I wouldn't say naive, NCAA and NBE I know have to worry more about the "look" of their crews, but speaking through the youth and adult wreck lens, I personally don't care how young or old my partner is- provided they can get into position and consistently make correct calls/no-calls.

I have worked with "dinosaurs" that could still beat the pack down the floor, and worked with "teenie-boppers" that had great on-court presence.
