I may be in the minority here, but I would have liked the game to have been called more tightly.  One of the best things about WCBB to me is the freedom of movement and passing and running.  I am not a fan of a "physical" game.  I dont enjoy a game dominated by pushing and bumping in the post.  Likely why I like WCBB over the WNBA.

I thought the refs did a good job calling the game evenly.  For the most part they were consistent and that is what you need.  A few years ago hand checks were a point of emphasis and it drove me crazy that there was mayhem in the post as players ran into each other with no calls, but the whistle blew when a guard put a hand on another guard!  Glad that seems to have stopped.

I also dont like when people say the refs should "let them play!".  Ummm, it is basketball, not rugby! I much prefer a game that restricts the contact.  Again, as long as the refs are consistent, the coaches and players can adjust.
