Your thoughts ????

Would also be curious to what JMF thinks......

I will say that in all the finals I can remember in recent years, it has been all-women crews. Coincidence or no? I wouldn't know...

But my question is more depth related.....of the 40 officials to work the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, roughly how many were good enough to work the FF 4....

I wish I had an answer, that's a question for one of our NCAA-W guys. It wouldn't be right for me to guess on that...

I doubt any man will ever ref the women's final from now on.

Not a foul.

Nice.

Beautiful travel mechanic at 12:35 second half.

my bad, since you started thread, just thought you were on the women's side of things....

I work NCAA-W (but just D3). However, the male D1's I know certainly understand their 'role' in the women's game.

Wouldn't be shocked to see a slight shift in future years with a man at the helm starting next season...

What, to fill space until they can put 3 women on the game regardless of officiating talent?

And you wonder why many men stay away? This is partly why.
