Her name is Violet Palmer and she is really good.

In college and high school we shouldn't run across the lane. Period. The NBA does what is best for their game at their level. They do officiate angles the best. When is the last time you saw a NBA game with off-ball calls? That is why they can run across the lane. It shouldn't be done in high school and college because we should officiate where we are at the moment meaning officiate the paint as you walk across instead of looking across to where you will end up. Some would say that the women's game doesn't have a history of tough post play and that is the reason the areas of coverage are the same as the NBA. Some will say they just want to be like the NBA. Time will tell if it will remain the same.

The game must be called different for Shaq or he would shoot 40 free throws a game.
