While I love Audi’s game, she plays for Iowa State, not Iowa. We are very lucky here in Iowa to have such fantastic women’s basketball to follow either live or in print. Kirkwood won Community College Division II championship, Dordt the NAIA championship, and Drake/ISU/Iowa all made the big dance. If UNI hadn’t had so many injuries, they might have made the dance too. Also, Clarke won championship last year and in case you didn’t know, this is ring #9 for Coach Muhl at Kirkwood. Great time to be alive and love women’s basketball if you are from the state of Iowa!!! PS. Love reading this newsletter!!! Keep up the great work!!!
You write: "The problem that many viewers had with the call was not its correctness — replays indicate that it was a moving screen — but rather the situation in which the call was made. “Players should decide the ends of games, not officials . . .”
I so agree with your post. Let's not forget that if the ref HAD NOT called the moving screen, she would have just as easily decided the end of the game in the opposite way.
The idea that refs should "let the players play" late in the game is one of those so-called unwritten rules. Some refs may believe that and call the game accordingly, but IT'S NOT A RULE. It's unwritten for a reason; IT'S NOT A RULE!
