I guess we can put to rest the nonsensical notion that “women’s officials” can’t also be successful in men’s basketball.

She will not be the last. There's another female official on one of my D3 staffs, and we are part of the ACC consortium training program, and fall under Bryan Kersey also.

She also has previous D-League and WNBA experience.

If one can successfully officiate a basketball game (Amy Bonner), or successfully execute a squib kick (Sarah Fuller, Vanderbilt), or successfully coach a Division I men’s basketball team (Mike Magpayo, UC Riverside), or successfully run the front office of a major league baseball team (Kim Ng, Miami Marlins), or successfully coach an NBA team (Lindsey Harding, Philadelphia 76ers), or successfully coach an NFL team (Callie Brownson, Cleveland Browns), I don't care what gender, race, religion, ethnicity, etc. one is.

Do a great job, kudos.

Screw it up, there's the door.

Props to Amy! Hopefully she'll be doing men's games for good.

I’m aware. The article mentions both their accomplishments.
