Have a friend who was an observer for the Southeast Conference in the past few years. At that time, the officials for the women’s games were being paid $3,000 per game. Their expenses were to come from that. Won’t mention their name because they are well known as a former official and supervisor. IMO officials for both women and men are poor. Actually penalizes both teams when they have to play with officials who are unqualified to officiate at that level.I think basketball is probably one of the toughest sports to officiate because of the speed of play. With that said I agree that WCBB officials could be better. Mostly I just want them to call the game consistently and call it evenly.
If reffing is your gig and you are good at it you are going to go where the money is and that ain't WCBB.
Mattingly was a horrible official herself, so what do you think the product on the floor will look like with her in charge? The blind are leading the blind, so there is no imminent solution to this problem.Have a friend who was an observer for the Southeast Conference in the past few years.

The SEC Supervisor for Women’s Basketball is Lisa Mattingly. She assigns officials for games in 6-8 different conferences.

I’ll never forget the time Glory, while trying to save a possession with the ball headed out of bounds, threw the ball off an opposing player on the baseline in front of the LVs’ bench, and Mattingly T’d her up saying it was thrown too hard. From then on, I had no use for her. I always referred to her as “chomper” because she was constantly chomping on gum.
