The NCAA Division I women's basketball staff will conduct a "mock" selection session Thursday morning in Indianapolis. The mock committee will feature 17 current head coaches and two administrators from the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.

The exercise will give participants a taste of the nearly week-long process the Division I Women's Basketball Committee goes through annually.

The mock selection committee will have access to all the tools ("nitty-gritty" reports, game results, RPI calculations) and will follow the same principles and procedures the actual committee follows when it assembles the championship bracket.

Those scheduled to attend the event are:
• Geno Auriemma, Connecticut
• Melanie Balcomb, Vanderbilt
• Joanne Boyle, California
• Doug Bruno, DePaul
• Sherri Coale, Oklahoma
• Brian Giorgis, Marist
• Gail Goestenkors, Texas
• Shann Hart, IUPUI
• Sylvia Hatchell, North Carolina
• Rick Insell, Middle Tennessee State
• Wendy Larry, Old Dominion
• Felisha Legette-Jack, Indiana
• Joanne P. McCallie, Duke
• Curt Miller, Bowling Green
• Jeff Mittie, TCU
• Jennifer Rizzotti, Hartford
• Audra Smith, Alabama-Birmingham
• WBCA Chief Executive Officer Beth Bass
• WBCA consultant Betty Jaynes

Comments

I have noticed that there are a good number of Mid-Major Coaches on the committee. Are there more Mid-Major teams being selected for this tournament? Are they being viewed in the same light as the teams from bigger conferences?
