Message: [QUOTE="ThisJustIn, post: 3105985, member: 382"] They do have the best refs there. As you know, the NCAA has no power over officials until the tournament. Until then, it's on the conferences to hire and give feedback to officials. Coaches/programs/conferences submit recommendations for the pool of refs the NCAA will select from. Once the first series of crews is selected, each game is reviewed and those considered to be the best move forward the next round. Just like the men's game, the refs make mistakes. Possible solution: Unionize them and make it a full time gig supervised by the NCAA. That would require a ton of money and organization. Alternate solutions: Bring in video review. Fan pleasing solution: Every team gets to assign one player that gets six fouls, not five. That way stars are protected, even when they mess up. Fan challenging suggestion. Play a game where fans in the first two rows have clickers. When they see a foul, they click. X-number of clicks prompt a whistle/foul. [/QUOTE]
