I just tuned into the South Carolina vs Michigan game and low and behold there is our favorite ref Missy.  Skinny Missy no less.

Oh, noooo.  But not surprising.  About a century ago (well, June 3, 2018) Stanford baseball played CSU Fullerton.  The home plate umpire was Brandon Cooper.  Click here to read Shotgun Spratling's coverage in the LA Times.  Some relevant quotes:

“[Starting CSUF pitcher Tiler] Bibee ran with the opportunity and a lenient strike zone from home plate umpire Brandon Cooper.”
 
“Bibee struck out 11, including eight batters that refrained from swinging at strike three. He worked both sides of the plate, getting called strikes on pitches an extra inch or five outside of the edges.”

Two years ago, Cooper showed up umpiring in the post-season.  Like many bureaucrats, NCAA officials are never fired.
