Karen Dalton Spray to Officials - WNBL

Karen Dalton has given a spray to the Wnbl for having second tier officials this season for the girls games.....it seems that this season the top 20 officials in the country are mainly doing Nbl games and the Wnbl are left with many less experienced officials working games.

In NSW this season the top two WNBL ref's from last season - Matt Beattie & Matt Townsend are now only doing Nbl and or at least mainly doing Nbl

The same has happened all around the league and the Wnbl is weaker for it

Do people agree that this is a sexist decision?

Maybe they should pay ref's the same for Men & Woman's games?

Beattie and Townsend only did 2 games each in the WNBL last season so it's not like they worked every round and are now lost to the WNBL.

NBL games are signifcantly harder to referee so your best officials do these game - case and point!

If WNBL was a better standard then you would get the best referees!

The sexist decision is female referees are automatically promoted to give the illusion that it's "fair". Before you attack me, I'm female and I don't think it's fair at all. The female refs that make it on their own, lose credibility because of decisions that are out of their hands.

That being said I agree with Karen. Every year the reffing standards have decreased. I think the 3 ref rule is good, but their aren't enough quality refs around to cover both the NBL and WNBL at the same time.

IMO Karen has always been a whinger from when she played to her coaching. Also unwilling to admit that her coaching abilities may be the reason for a loss and not the officials.
Having said that, the problem with the officiating depends on where and when the games are played. Certainly the top officials are rostered to NBL games but some (not all) referee WNBL games. The top echelon also travel to NBL games and therefore may be unavailable for the WNBL due to this factor. Let's also be honest with the fact that some senior officials do not want to referee WNBL games due to the game payments and the perceived lack of standard of the WNBL. In Adelaide for instance I often wonder why Haines and Filmer are not rostered to more games if there is no NBL game that weekend and instead less experienced and referees barely capable of the WNBL standard are rostered. This argument could go on forever but the facts are that less experienced referees are now rostered to WNBL games than in previous years.

Can't see that there is a lack of depth when many of the best ref's are doing bugger all games each season.

There are (9) NSW officials in the WNBL!!!

Far too many - IMO only need 4 or 5 and have them doing games as much as possible

Ok a few things here...

The WNBL dont have the money to pay the same amount as the NBL. For a guesstimate your looking at $150 top $$$ in the WNBL compared to $600 in the NBL. NBL have a travel budget the WNBL welllll dont!

ANON12:
Let's also be honest with the fact that some senior officials do not want to referee WNBL games due to the game payments and the perceived lack of standard of the WNBL

This is slightly a load of crap. All the Top referees (top 10) Referee in their state leagues in the off-season for less than what they would get for a WNBL game. Game payments have nothing to do with it, it's around the rostering. That is all.

I think I could safely say that the top 10 NBL officials havent refereed WNBL for at least 10 years, some even longer.

The problem around giving the top NBL guys games is A) they are generally rostered on NBL and B) they are taking games away from developing referees. Its a bit of chicken and egg. How do you show development pathways if you only let the same people referee both leagues???

Not Happy Jan:

Your comment around 9 officials is valid and I totally agree. The issue is availability. Its not just about how much is paid but it revolves around things such as family life, work life balance and the days of people only working monday to friday are gone. Some referees fulltime employment includes weekend work etc and if it comes to a full-time wage or a WNBL payment well only 1 is going to pay the mortgage and the other is beer money.

@ Not Happy, if youre going to name people atleast get a clue about what youre saying, Kelly and Andreola are 2 of the most experienced competent officials on the WNBL panel, both rate very well in game assesments too.

@ Not happy, you are most definately entitled to an opinion but the fact you use TV coverage to rate officials is flawed to begin with as you get a totally different view from high up the stands to what the Refs see for starters. Banik shouldnt be doing NBL using your logic because he's no better than Andreola or Kelly, you can argue all you like but they all rank roughly the same.
Bottom line is id take any of the victorian NBL/WNBL panel barring the 3 new comers on one of my games over 80% of the rest of the countrys panel.

You might want to get your facts straight first. Said person was informed they were no longer required at the NBL level and thus quit the WNBL role taking his bat and ball with him! You might want to keep up with the things that actually occurred.

Interesting that the same referee is still panel 3 under new management and beyond mid-season review point, plus ranked 9th in the VBRA rankings but couldn't get a men's final in either Big V or SEABL.

Seems to be a pattern there.

That's where I strongly disagree
Banik has been around a long time and is a developing official who continues to get better - I am quite sure he has done finals in the Wnbl and I would think most people outside of Victoria would rate him well ahead of the other two.

As I said Jason Kelly is fine but the debate is more about the fact that with Kirsten/Reid/Banik not used in the Wnbl the standard of officiating in the wnbl is lower in Victoria just like every other state.

Your opinion of Kelly & Andreoala being better than 80% of the panel outside of Victoria is extremely bias and the typical VIC attitude I am talking about

Actually it's laughable

Even Michelle Dyson is more consistent and reliable than Andreola in VIC

Don't get me wrong the same thing exists in NSW, the coaches would prefer to see Beattie than some of the less experienced officials especially from Canberra

If he missed out on a Grand Final in the SEABL because of performance then fine but I think over time he has shown the large majority around Australian referee circles to be a much more consistent and competent official than Andriola or Earle or Kelly Knight or others

My point is more about the fact that while VIC has some good depth that after there top 7 or 8 officials it drop's off in terms of standard.

Too be honest it sounds like you might be Andreola's mum?

She is a level 3 or maybe a level 2 WNBL but she aint an Nbl Ref or even close

OK I did but it was more in comparison to other, better options.

IMO they need to pick a panel of the best officials to do both Nbl & Wnbl - She would not be in that group

As it stands now the Wnbl get Andreola/Earle/Spain/Kelly as senior officials at this level, instead of those guys being part of a crew which might include Reid,Banik,Kirsten, Mills

This is what Karen is talking about

As for Tilden, well regardless of why he quit I don't think he alone would have held back 1 over rated Victorian

The fact she ranked 9th in her state says it all

I just find it rediculous that some think Andreola isnt good enough to ref WNBL even with those guys on the panel. She is clearly in my and many others opininons a very good ref who is also 1 of only about 20 good enough to be FIBA official. That's all im saying.

I have raised this point before, but the best refs should be employed full time by both leagues and therefore do a lot more games than they do now. If they don't have other committments, there is no reason why they can't do 5 or more games a week. With the correct number of them, they could cover both men and women's games. Its a professional league which requires professional refs. The profession should be able to satisfy them financially without any other committment. If they can make a living out of it, it might even encourage more to take up the profession or atleast bring the best of them out of the woodwork.

The WNBL should not be putting up with less experienced refs when they are also professional sports people.

Earle, Clarke & O'Shea came on from Victoria whilst Boyd and Manhire are inactive.

Banik, Kelly and Knight are Panel 1's, Spain and Manhire are the panel 2's and the rest are panel 3. Andreola or Dyson would be the the 2 longest serving on WNBL and both are panel 3.

Kirsten and Mills have not refereed WNBL for approx 2 and 4 years respectively. Reid was removed from the panel this year after moving to panel 2 on the NBL. That leaves Hunt and Aylen and a search of WNBL games records shows Hunt has refereed 41 WNBL games compared to 900+ NBL and Aylen 22 compared to 300+ NBL.

Interesting that these stats are from the end of 2010 and Reid who had a relatively short time on WNBL had 67 games compared to Andreola's 80.

Just some stats to enlighten debate.

Well considering the Asian games are run 4 yearly and the last one was in 2010 you might want to check your facts.

The Gold Medal game for Women was played between Korea and China. The Referees for that were:

Chernova - Russia
Yodsint - Thailand
Durairaju - India

In 2006 the 15th Asian games they still used 2 person officiating and the final was refereed by:

Julien - France
Townsend - Canada

Also comparing FIBA's from non-powerhouse countries is fraught with danger as we all remember Gen's from India who came highly regarded from India (did the Commonwealth games) and we all know how well he did in the big V

Wont do do WNBL finals, as stated will get few if any Big V SEABL men's games (similar to the second half of the 2011 season) and knowing the powers that be won't get nominated out of Victoria in 2012. Wont go to a senior worlds and i doubt will go O/S ever again and will as stated be gone from elite within 2. Nothing to do with me, you can just see from the last 2 years the move is away. Im nobody so i have no say. Its an opinion, just like everyone i have my own.

Bitter. That's funny. Never refereed a game in my life, but my housemates live the shit. I couldn't care less if she was the queen of england. I just love how 1 or 2 people run to her defence in every online thread and the stats, rankings etc don't lie!

Lets put it in a basketball sense, If you had one basketball referee and you offered them do you want to referee the Men's Worlds or the Women's Worlds which do you think they would take?....... Men's every day of the week.

If you had the same situation in the Netball the Umpire would take the Women's every day of the week.

Their was no suggestion the Men's netball Worlds wasnt elite, it's just a tier below the Women's competition if your looking at it from a structure point of view!

No different if you scale it back to national competition formats like the NBL/WNBL or the ANZ Championship / Men's Easter National Championship. Your best basketball referees are going to want to do NBL before WNBL and your best netball umpires are going to want to do the ANZ over the Men's national tournament.

The reality is guys like reid, haines & beattie were told they wouldn't be used this season to make way for new officials to be added to the panel.it was thought there was enough depth in the panel to cover there loss but many would argue that hasn't been the case.
The facts with melissa andreola is she prob won't go away with fiba because she's too old & they are transitioning too younger groups of officials at tournaments now.

I think if anything should come out of Dalton's outburst it should probably be a working party to look at the make up of the National Panel as a whole and how both leagues are rostered. It could be possible seeing both leagues are managed by the one person that once the NBL games are appointed, the remaining referees are then available for WNBL appointments. If you write into policy that there still has to be room for development of officials especially at the lower end of the WNBL its possible you could kill 2 ducks with one brick.

Reduce the size of the entire national panel and make it more workable with an emphasis on getting up and coming referees opportunities to ref with more experienced people and greater frequency of appointments for all. Currently as previously stated there are anywhere between 10-17 referees idle from the NBL any given round (accounting for unavailablity etc) Drop a large portion of them back to WNBL, mix them with a senior WNBL referee (Panel 1) and a less experienced WNBL referee and you might be able to increase the standard of the refereeing on games plus help deliver development and experience to a referee who has the potential to have a future. Hopefully it will also increase the frequency of games referees are appointed to which again as previously discussed can on help consistency. Just my 5 bob worth
