Message: [QUOTE="MooseJaw, post: 5300453, member: 10835"] Refs are getting better, no doubt. The first WCBB game i attended was in the early 70's at NIU. There were less than 20 spectators including the refs. I include the refs in the spectators in attendance because their knowledge of the game was no greater than those of us watching the game. Yes, over the next 50 years the officiating has gotten better. It's not unusual to watch some games realizing later that we didn't pull out one hair on our heads because of bad calls. We watch youth WBB games we see plenty of mistakes. We watch girls HS BB games the players make errors. We watch WCBB and the players make errors. We watch WNBA games, and the player make mistakes. Are we foolish enough to believe that the refs at all levels won't make errors officiating, we know better. Every game is different, some games the refs seem to be on vacation, some we hardly notice them. WBB play is improving at all levels, while the officiating is also improving at all levels. The WBB scene in general is exploding, more players = more games, more games more refs, new refs mean more mistakes. We learn thru experience and by making mistakes. Players, coaches, refs and fans.
