Unfortunately, this has become far to normal in women's college basketball and too many officials let it go on. The officials comments are "we have to let them play." The officials have to step up their game and not let it get out of control like they did today. Too many officials want to be the players friends instead of officiating. The officiating in college wbb is some of the worst in basketball, and I've been watching for 30 years.
If you watched today, the tall African American official ran away from the fight. The other two stepped in, but they really didn't do much. Kevin Pethtel and Angelica Suffren have both officiated in Ames. Suffren officiated the night we came back against WVU and was out of it for most of the game. Pethtel officiated the Cincinnati game.
