Well, yea, but if she'd been the worst for as many years as she's been there, I doubt she'd have lasted.

But new officials don't stay at the bottom year after year. They either move up or they go out. I expect it's the same in the NBA.

Definitely a political decision at the beginning. BUt there are other people who they could put in to fill the PC needs. If Violet Palmer wasn't good, she'd be gone. She's moved up, she's well spoken of, she's in place. All because the NBA thinkx she's good.
