All true. Val needs to take charge before the league loses the credibility gained from UConn's rise to prominence with its 5 NC's in the last 25 years and the two won by Villanova.

The bad calls affect the product being displayed on TV as well as in the arenas, and the officials are in a difficult spot today because of instant slo-mo replays, but that doesn't preclude improvements being made to assure consistency.

The Supervisor of officials should be setting the standards and training his officials on how to apply those standards. If he doesn't do that he should go and if the officials don't meet those standards after sufficient training they should be replaced.

And, while he's at it, he should make it clear to the coaches that the refs aren't going to take any BS from them or the players.

Any problems should be addressed at a forum the league could host one day per week on a video call. Let the schools put together videos of the bad calls so they can be addressed with the officials and give the Supervisor of officials some clout to protect his referees if they are wrongly targeted for abuse during games.
