Message: [QUOTE="Roger G, post: 2688955, member: 7083"] The refereeing in Women's basketball is awful, and there is no total solution as it is pretty bad in basketball just about everywhere. The game is very hard to referee as it requires lightning fast decisions and has to take into considerations a lot of factors. Not everything can be called, no matter how much I have heard calls for that to be done. But the best solution is in my opinion to get rid of the rule that requires a player to leave the game after a certain number of fouls. Give the player fouled an extra shot if the person fouling is over the limit of fouls. That way you wouldn't have the ridiculousness of Katie Lou letting people go right by her so she doesn't foul out. UConn would have won the game if it weren't for that absurd requirement. It gives the refs far too much power. Teams target the most important player on the other team and if the refs help them out, it increases their chances of winning the game tremendously. It is one of the most outlandish rules in sport. You don't foul out in baseball, you don't foul out in football, and you don't even foul out in hockey. It's nutty. [/QUOTE]
