Referees should have media after the games. 5 minutes. 3 questions on the reasoning behind the most crucial/controversial 3 calls in the game to give them a chance to explain themselves. Accountability can’t only apply to players and coaches. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

"I’m not apologizing for it because I don't feel that I need to apologize… I wouldn’t take it back."
It’s just a game. But, we love it. #NCAAW Give these women their props and put them on tv so we can follow when they go pro... please!!

There were over 9,600 posts about the Elite Eight matchup between @UConnWBB & @BaylorWBB during the game alone...
The engagements doubled those of the men's @marchmadness games happening last night 👀
The @UConnWBB-@IowaWBB Sweet 16 game on Saturday drew 1.559 million viewers on ABC. @BaylorWBB-@umichwbball drew 1.223 million.
*No one cares.
*No one watches women's basketball.
*Stop being woke for retweets.
*Yeah, but the men drew more.
Again: Put the WBB title game on ABC.
"I don't think LeBron has ever won a game on a bad call by the other team, by the other officials...I probably doubt that in his career he's ever won a game and decided to give it back because he looked at it and went 'that was a foul'" - Geno Auriemma
Soooo the women’s tournament doubled the men’s social media engagement last night with 39 MILLION impressions. I hope that when potential sports sponsorships are discussed that people do their homework. Right now Less than 1% of all those dollars go to women’s sports. 📸 @Zoomph
