Time For Geno To Give DT A Quick Call

[Dairyair]

WNBA officials, if they are any good, get promoted to the men's game. The officiating for WNBA games is like minor league baseball in that respect. So there are a lot of missed calls, a lot of excessively-officiated games, and a general lack of consistency from game to game, or even within a particular game (or even in a particular quarter of a game).

The players have improved and the quality of play has improved (though it still could be better, especially around the basket). The officiating has not kept pace with the improvement in the quality play; in other words, there has not been an equivalent in improvement in the officiating.

My two cents:

1) The WNBA can't pay the PLAYERS (the actual stars of the game) enough that they have to go oversees to make money...I'm sure the refs are not paid anywhere NEAR what NBA officials get.

2) Diana spent four years at UConn, getting mugged nearly every time down the court, especially the last two years. She was able to show her emotions without the theatrics which have marked her game lately. I suspect Geno kept a leash on her, something her WNBA coach (whose name escapes me at the moment) obviously doesn't do. In deed, he either looks the other way, or may actually encourage her behavior, either tacitly or directly.
