"She" is Violet Palmer and is very respected around the league and within the officiating community.

Gundy got a T within the first 3 minutes or so. She was tough, but the calls were correct.

Van Gundy did get a T, but it wasn't in the first three minutes and it wasn't from Ms. Palmer. Houston was called for a defensive 3-second violation by one of the male officials; I believe it was Robbie Robinson. Van Gundy argued loudly that the ball had to be in the frontcourt for 3 seconds to make the call, and the ball had only been in the frontcourt for about half a second when the violation was called. I like the fact that Van Gundy actually knew the rule and that he then got T'd up for being obnoxious anyway.
