    I agree with this. Good post. It'd be interesting to see if she were to be treated this way if there were about 10 more women referees in the NBA. Probably not. I do also agree with the many posters on here who view her as a below average official. But from what I can tell, a lot of NBA refs are below average when compared to their contemporaries in other sports.

    Bingo! I was going to say the exact same thing. She may be bad, but she's consistent and unbiased. In some ways I actually prefer that over the refs with big egos and those who hold grudges against certain players/teams.

    I just wish the NBA had better reffing, in general. Get rid of superstar calls, and try to call every game and player the same way.
