Interesting that the story says that a male ref was fired also, but that only warranted a short sentence toward the very end of the article.
Does anyone know what her "shortcomings" were? I saw her ref a couple games on TV and she looked pretty good. Maybe she called traveling or palming too many times? :-)

Here's another story that gives a little more detail.

Here's an interesting passage. Nice to know they have the same problems with the evaluation process at the top of the mountain that we have here in the swamps...
...
One longtime coach even allowed that, "if she files a lawsuit and I get subpoenaed, I'll support her all the way. This is just not right."
But here's the problem: How do you square these most recent comments with the coaches' and general managers' rankings, which rated her 59th and account for 40 percent of the final computation? (Jackson and Rush combine for 50 percent of the total, overseers the remaining 15 percent.)
...
"We ask how refs are hired and fired, and we never get any real answers," said one coach. "A lot of us just have our assistants do (ref evaluations) and don't even look before we sign. It doesn't matter what we think, so why waste our time?"
Asked about this, Jackson bristles.
"If that's the case, that's terrible," he said, "because we take these things seriously. A lot of thought goes into this. And we do have a review system, and (Kantner) was subject to the normal reviews. If she's saying we don't ... it's just not true."
