I'm thinking Mike Price or Cameron Inouye, possible.

Likely means Dee Kantner will be working the final again.

These are my two biggest criticisms of the NCAAW officiating system:
1. If you aren't female, you have a very slim chance of working the top games because the powers that be almost always put a minimum of two females on the crew.
2. It's the same couple of people year after year on the championship game. Seriously, can't they train a few other people or haven't a couple of other people developed to the point that someone doesn't have to be assigned to eight NCAA Finals in a row! Seriously, spread the wealth and give someone else a chance!

All the other eligible refs are dudes. There aren't that many women who have been working the 15+ years necessary to work the championship game.

This is what stands out to me.

As far as male representation in NCAA-W, oh well. Playing the gender card are we? Whenever the demographic in power finds itself on the short end of the stick, all of a sudden it some major injustice.

How much better than everybody else would a female have to be in order to get an fair shot on the Men's side? Shoot, how much better do women have to be just to get a few BV games in their local associations?
