Violet Palmer was in the NBA before the WNBA was an issue.

The WNBA's first season was the summer of '97. Violet was hired by the NBA for the '97-'98 season.
Violet's Wiki entry says that she has reffed WNBA games as well. I actually don't recall seeing her, so I'm not sure whether that's true.

Palmer might have worked some WNBA games, but she was hired in the NBA first if I am not mistaken. These are two different seasons. Dee Kantner was hired the same year that Palmer was and both came from the D1 ranks and had worked Final Fours in their career.
