Who were last night's refs?

This was a final exam for assignment to work final 8 or final 4 games. I don't think any of them made it.

In general, being at the game I though the referee were too involve in the game. They were looking for their own gratification, their moment on TV time!!!~ . Geno has been saying for years, let the women play their game, and call just the real infractions. The calls were bad on both team, taking out the flow of the game. Lets treat the women equally across the board. That's the greatest gift I can ask for my grand-daughters.

wow... some says KLS get beat up every game. I guess you dont see it as a big deal. I'm on your team.

I wonder if Geno and Dawn encouraged the refs to "let them play". I think it happens a lot, I think Geno knows he'll win most games so he doesn't mind if Houston players play with some "intensity".

Geno likes Dawn and isn't going to mention being beat up by USC.

Can someone please explain to me how it is legal for a defender to actually rest their arms on KLS arm 20 ft from the basket , so she can't get the ball ?

It isn't legal, but the question is whether that is a big enough deal to make a call. If everything like that were called, there would be a whistle every 5 seconds and the game would last for 4 hours. One of the challenges to officials is to exercise judgment (in a quarter-second time frame) about what needs to be called and what can be let go.
