Steratore has been around since the oBE days, IIRC. I think, but am not certain, that he is related to the former NFL official Gene Steratore (who does men's BB in the B1G, or at least did).Officials from the Box Score
Steratore made most of the bad calls. We’ve had Pethel before this season.

We've actually have had all three officials before with Thompson one of the better ones. Pethel has been bad before worse than Steratore. But his name kept coming up on the audio-cast, which pissed me off.Officials from the Box Score

I have to disagree with you on the judgement used by the official on calling these technicals - especially the 2nd one on Wilson at the end of the 3rd quarter. KK Sanders had jumped up off the bench in excitement to congratulate Wilson and Charise was clapping at her, not at any Indiana player. There was one Indiana player that was still in the area in front of the RU bench making her way back to the IU bench and the official who made the call was all the way across the court at midcourt (directly in front of our seats) when he made that call. He thought he saw something that did not actually happen. As for calling Mack for what she did, that call would not have been made by a lot of officials in the women's game and definitely not in the men's, although I will give him more leeway with that call than the second T. I think he should have just warned her though instead of calling the T, just like they did with the IU assistant coach that kept going out on the floor. I watched the Louisville / Uconn game when I got home and saw Louisville players - Jazmine Jones in particular - celebrating on good plays right in the face of the Uconn players saying things and making gestures even more emphatic than Mack, with no calls or even warnings by the refs. They understood that the player was just really excited that they were playing well enough to beat Uconn, not taunting their opponent. Our players were just trying to get themselves fired up after falling so far behind.I posted this on FB, and think it pretty much answers your question, Bac:
I love the team and saw the post-game press conference. While it’s nice that CVS is defending her players, after watching the replay of the game I think both technicals were justified as the rules are stated. I’m a big fan of T-Mack’s energy and she wears her emotions on her sleeve, but her enthusiasm after scoring this particular basket resulted in her clapping in the face of the Indiana player taking the ball out. If she had not been directly facing the player it wouldn’t have been taunting, but she was. With the case of Charise, it was similar. After we scored at the very end of the 3rd quarter she was excited and clapped a couple of times but, like with T-Mack, she was doing it while facing an Indiana player who was very close by. That’s four points that could’ve proved crucial in a close game. I don’t want the players to keep everything in, but celebrate with your teammates and not in the face of the opposing team. With that said, I think the officials made some terrible calls and also missed some crucial calls.
Yes you are correct. Those calls were made one right after the other and CC was the one who got called for the foul in both cases. I didn't agree with either of those calls, but I thought the technicals called were worse. In any case, not the best crew of officials.My biggest complaint about the officiating last night had to do with several plays that could have been either charges or blocks and all seemed to go in Indiana's favor. I think 2 of them involved CC. In one case she was called for a charge that IMO should have been either a block or a no-call. On another play she was called for a block that could have been a charge. (I don't have the benefit of a replay to go back and review, but that's what I can remember.)
dmd78, Do you have BTN+?? You can watch both the men's, and WBB games whenever you feel like it. I think I pay 9.99 a month, and cancel in March.My biggest complaint about the officiating last night had to do with several plays that could have been either charges or blocks and all seemed to go in Indiana's favor.

I do have it. But it’s not like having it recorded on the DVR, where I can quickly fast forward to whatever part of the game I’m looking for.dmd78, Do you have BTN+??

I usually chromecast the broadcast from either my phone or tablet to the 46” television (so that I can actually SEE it lol). That removes most of the relevant controls. Even when watching directly on the tablet, I find the controls on BTN2Go flaky. Example, if I try to pause it, I usually have to restart the broadcast to get back to where I was. Anyway, for the purpose of going back and seeing a couple of specific plays and how they were officiated, it just wasn’t worth the trouble to use the app.Yes you can, by dragging with the cursor at the bottom of the screen to where ever you want in the gameI do have it.

if it wasnt for the lousy onesided officiating we would be undefeated this year!~Officiating in this league is a joke. 28 fouls to 12, give me a ****ing break
Officiating did not cost us the Minnesota game.if it wasnt for the lousy onesided officiating we would be undefeated this year!~
