Gotta remember, with few exceptions, the there is no crossover of refs who do men or women in D1. Don’t know if say, lower level men’s refs do women’s games. Lots of refs needed. There is a lot of lousy reffing in the men’s game to. Used to be only 2 refs worked games. One extra ref is 50% more people. Theoretically the NCAA a should be better Far fewer games a day and supposedly the best refs get to do the tournament, so 2 refs vs. 3 shouldn’t matter. Somehow. still a lot of bad reffing.
I’ve seen that parent up close. One of my oldest granddaughter’s teammates had a mother like that. You could not sit next to or near her and enjoy the game. I remember she was asked to leave the gym once during a tournament game.
It’s interesting that as a spectator in the stands you can see EVERYTHING, while an official can be standing 5-7 feet away and not see it. ?
Among the problems are when an out of position ref makes a call not made by a ref in perfect position. But there are definitely some things that you can see clearly on TV, a bit closer than the cheap seats, that are pretty bad calls or no calls. officiating in women’s games is weaker than in the men’s game, which is a bit curious given that the pace and athleticism is generally not as quick.
There were two no calls in the final minutes of the Iowa State game, either one of which would have allowed Iowa State to win. Both non calls took the ball out of their possession.
I still remember Diamond DeShields' father demands her to be the WNBA #1 draft. I guess nobody can beat Diamond DeShields' father in big mouth.
She did! Just because Griner was different(big girl) people get away with a lot of contact when guarding her. If you watch any of the semi or finals game in 2012 against Stanford and Notre dame, Griner’s defenders are constantly getting away with lots of contact. She made a lot of shots through those contact but there were a lot of them that should’ve been and-1s but it was never called!
I think perhaps you should take a longer view at the seeding of all of the SEC teams, each of which have under performed. TAMU and SCar are the last two remaining from "the best conference in WCBB". Their easiest game to date? I don't think TAMU gets by Arizona. That would leave what seems to my eyes, an under performing SCar as the last SEC team in the E8. An E8 that could, from my vantage, have 3 PAC 12 teams. People like @nwhoopfan and I have been saying for the last few years that the PAC 12 is the best conference in WCBB, and once again it's shown to be true. I think it's time for the NCAA seeding crew to stop believing the hype coming from down south, stop the east coast bias and start recognizing that most of the better teams are west of the Mississippi.
And Louisville got their payback the next game. Just as TAMU will get theirs.
This year’s a&m team remind me of the South Carolina 2016 team where they somehow would win all their close games! That year ended with them losing in the sweet sixteen against Syracuse
I couldn’t watch the overtime either.
Well... Jordan Barncastle didn't get away with it
Reacting to your child getting jobbed by a ref, or by anyone really, has no statute of limitations on it. I too would have reacted badly if my child had been cheated by some incompetent or biased ref!
Unless there was a lot the clip didn’t show, I fail to see why that was embarrassing? He was pissed because his kid just got screwed by an incompetent or biased ref! I would be proud if he was my Dad. (Unless there was way more than what I saw)
A more clear video. Must not be good to be punched by big Griner.Well... Jordan Barncastle didn't get away with it
