With some rote work, one could go back on the espn women’s basketball website box scores and do a spreadsheet of fouls-called differentials (Rutgers vs. opponents) for five or ten years’ worth of games.

With that, one could get an overall average of that differential.

Then, theoretically, one could compare that with the overall average of Rutgers’s Napier officiated games.

However, I can’t find a place where each game’s officials are consistently logged.

It appears in the Gamecast tab of some espn box scores, but not all.

I would really say someone should do this. And then send it to Coach so she can send it to the Big Ten. She clearly has a vendetta, refs are people too not robots and she cannot stand Cviv or the Rutgers family. She should not be allowed to officiate games involving Rutgers any more, plain and simple.

The worse was the Tennessee RU game in NCAA. I was at a restaurant with sound down. It was 10 fouls for RU and 0 for Tennessee. Will never forget that.

What is the genesis of said RU hatred?

The second I saw she was one of the refs i wanted to cry. I wrote Dee Kantner many years ago, obviously got me no place. She and whats his name (Geno's boy)are, well....never mind.

Let's go to the video tape!

Since Geno's boy, so called, (Dennis DeMayo) is retired, we can ease up on him, I think. Like the late Bonita Spence, he tended to call them as he saw them, and yes, I think he may have had some UConn bias; at the same time, as you may know, he spoke years ago at a Cager's Club meeting and was very complimentary to CVS. He also confirmed what my wife suspected about an incident in the final four where he basically fouled someone out for excessive flopping (not exactly in the rules, but at that point he was past tolerating). Also, we were at a Syracuse game where one of the Syracuse players was head-hunting us, and he sort of leaned against her as they were walking after the foul and told her to knock it off or he would eject her.

Like many refs, I think he preferred a certain style of play and Rutgers did not always play that style.

As to the 10 foul game in the NCAA's, I think Wesley Dean and probably Lawson Newton were involved. One is in jail and the other I believe is also retired. Times change.

Ugh! Just watching that tape again is enough to give me indigestion. I was really disappointed in Pat Summit for not admitting that the game had ended before the foul.

Adding insult to injury was the fact that RU had just knocked off #1 UConn over the weekend, which elevated Tennessee to #1. So RU would have defeated the #1 team in two consecutive games, which I don't think has ever occurred. It's very rare that any team ever even gets to play the #1 team(s) in consecutive games, let alone defeat them both times.

My sentiments exactly, respect for Pat Summit went out the window. The win was more important then integrity.
