Duke game Refs

[UcMiami]

Couple of thoughts on the refs:
1. I thought it was a well officiated contest - can complain about a few things each way, but given the usual standard in the women's game, I was pleasantly surprised. The game flowed and play was physical but not rough, and the officials really didn't insert themselves into the outcome.
2. I wonder if a point of emphasis this year is offensive fouls on pick and roll plays? I have seen more fouls called on that play (on all teams) this year than I remember from the past. I think it is similar to charging calls, where refs need to interpret what they are seeing and it is a diificult call - when does the defensive switch occur, so the the player setting the pick can begin their 'roll' without being considered a moving pick.

EW could have been called for 5 fouls in the first half. Tons of traveling not called.

Like her or not, you can count on Dee Kantner refereeing ALL major WCBB games. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.

Ice- It could be worse if Sally Bell was still officiating.

June Corteau asks you to please not to forget her !

...and don't forget Bonita Spence - the original BS ref!

Its hard to forget Bonita, since she's still around. At least Sally and June (and our old friend Titus) have retired, while disasters like Morningstar have gone to smaller conferences.
