Good point. I guess my question would be what type of position do they need to fill? Is it someone to work for the coaches in determining how the game should be called? Someone whose responsibility is to train and evaluate?

I'm asking because I really don't know, but who is the "czar" (hate the term, but it makes the point) of NCAA softball? Who carries the lone, final word in the decision making process in the sport at this level?

The NCAA Softball Committee.

To answer your question, or to carry the final word?

Maybe he means that, by definition, a committee cannot have the "lone, final word".

Maybe, but his reading is exactly what it meant.

See above.

There needs to be a boss. Committees are fine and dandy for discussion purposes, but when it comes down to the last word, it cannot be a simple majority of any more than one.

There needs to be one person who is responsible for a decision, not a group of posturing folks who simply point fingers when an unpopular opinion is acted upon.

The problem is the NCAA in general is a very politically and financially motivated group that hedges every turn made during the course of just about any action. No NCAA committee/group is ever at fault, but there always seems to be a scapegoat, and I'm not talking about softball.
