Renee Dorfman, Patriot League Coordinator of women's basketball officials is interviewed for the League's website. Dorfman says the process of becoming a collegiate official "is now in a rebirth or developmental program."

The Patriot League is a part of the only developmental program currently being offered. Former student-athletes, coaches and administrators are being offered opportunities to enter a five-year program with on-going mentoring from some of the nations' top officials. (All mentors have worked at least the Women's NCAA Division I Tournament Regional or higher.) During the official's development, Division II and III coordinators are invited to see the new candidates and offer games with structured crews.

Of note: Interested spectators can order the 2006 NCAA Women's Basketball Rules Clinic DVD for detailed Power Point and Video Clip rules interpretations. You can also purchase it in book form.
