Anyone know who the refs will be for our game?
 
Per Jim Fuller: Dee Kantner, Mark Zentz and Felicia Grinter officials for ND/#UConn game
 
Cleveland, April 1 () – The NCAA and the Women’s Basketball Officiating Consortium announced new assignments for game officials in Tuesday’s women’s Division I national basketball championship game today, replacing the previously-assigned officials with a new group who had not previously officiated in this year’s NCAA tournament. The original crew, Sally Bell, Dennis DeMayo and Dee Kantner, will be replaced by University of Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma, Maryland coach Brenda Frese and Baylor coach Kim Mulkey.

Mary Struckhoff, the National Coordinator of Women’s Basketball Officiating for the NCAA, announced the new officiating crew at a press conference last night. “While we realize that many fans will be surprised by this change, we think it will make for a more exciting contest. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to seeing this group try to manage a basketball game. We’re particularly delighted that Brenda was able to take time out from updating her resume to officiate on Tuesday night.”

The reactions of the referees originally scheduled to officiate the game were surprisingly upbeat. “I think this is the finest group of coach/referees they could have assembled,” said DeMayo. “I know that every one of them has corrected my officiating mistakes dozens of times, and made sure I knew exactly how I had missed each call. It’s an honor to give up my spot in the national championship game for these outstanding individuals. I’m looking forward to reviewing the game tape with them so I can learn how someone can call a game so well from 30, 40 or even 70 feet away from the play.” (Click to continue reading)

Outrageous...

Words cannot describe how I feel about this...

Mukey always loses her uniform... Frese can't run in high heels... And Auriemma can't see over the players shoulders..

And none of them can agree to any call together...
 
Why does Dee Kantner seem to always get the ref job in these important games.
 
What strikes me, though, is that the foul calls were just about equal by the end of the game (20-21). Did that happen in any of the other three ND games?

They HAD to foul. It was the only way to try to get back into the game.
