WNBL Teams looking for a Coach

hmmm, Linky didn't quite work out for the first link, here it is again New Oregon Womens Coach

You know coming from a non basketball background and watch my child come through the ranks. I have to admit I was quite suprised to see how bais ref's can be. On all levels from all clubs I have gathered it is expected. But I was astonished to see the Under 10 div 1 play today Sturt V Tigers at Pasedena. The refging was so bad even the sturt players were smiling at the Bias calls 1 player pushed a tiger off the ball at every throw in to be called for it once. I accept that the game is rough but when a player deliberetly elbows a drop elbow in front of the ref and was not called for it something is wrong with the game. Has any one entertained the idea of having ref's brought in from another club to run the game. I cant see a down side to this. The round the neck tackles the pushes in the back the elbows were a constant. I really am after this game thinking of pulling my child out and putting him in conference. The only other way to make sure of the Ref's being answerable to their action is to video the games and present the actions to an authority. Now you can say the UIC should be contacted but in this case he was and did speak to the ref in question who walked off smiling. The game was lost by the Tigers due to two reasons one their shooting was awful but also because the ref's missed three calls in the last 2 minutes that ended with three tigers forced to the floor one crying in pain.
