I recently watched a JV girls game. I was in the stands so I didn't have the vantage point. I was waiting for the varsity game cause I wanted to scout the varsity officials.
Anyway there was a woman ref who reminded me of Violet Palmer. (the NBA official)
She had this chip on her shoulder and was calling everything. I mean everything. Yes.. there was some contact sure, but not enought IMO to call it every time. This woman blew her whistle more then Jenna Jamison.. well anyway.. she blew the whistle alot.
She was getting bood mercelesly.
My question is.. Why??.. I notice this with alot of women officials. (not all of them) Her calls were confident and her mechanics were good, but.. very over zealous with the whistle IMO.
Also called alot of travel calls that IMO were not nessesary. The player would be catching the ball in the middle of a step. They would establish the pivot foot, and then pivot and she would call it.
Really made the game hard to watch. Thats why I try to call more blatent stuff. I'd rather be accused of swallowing the whistle vs taking over the game.
Just my 2 pennys.
