Place 4 refs on the court! Yes 4! 1 and 2 under the hoops and they do not run the court. They are responsible for the lane and baseline. This way they are always in place to make a call coming at them, in the paint and in the baseline. Refs 3 and 4 run the court and are responsible for the transition game calls.

"This game was 2 hours and 41 minutes long, like that's insane. I know it's gonna take time of what's the standard and what's gonna be called, but there's calls that are being called that are unnecessary on both sides. Then there's no flow, so I don't know"

@ESPNPR @bethmowins @debbieantonelli @primetimeMitch @USATODAY @espnW Love this! I watched these two grow old together during my tenure at ESPN. They stay young and up-to -date with the game. And continue to do so. Their chemistry is fantastic! Thank You Debbie and Beth for your dedication to the game. It has been wonderful to watch

Proposal to improve WBB officiating:
*Assign 4 officials to all college & WNBA games
*Official 1 stays under basket (no full-court run): handles paint & baseline calls (sees action coming) Official 2 stays under opposite basket: same role.
*Officials 3 & 4 run diagonal from FT wing to FT wing: manage backcourt flow (not responsible for paint calls).
*If rare injury occurs, revert to 3 officials to finish game.
Bigger idea: Centralize all officiating under one org—USAB.

So well-deserved. I can’t wait to see what is Next for you! Thanks for being a trailblazer and an expert PxP talent for ESPN. I am sure they will miss your professional insights calling live events with class.
