Violet Palmer

[actuary77]

So I guess Violet Palmer got ditched again and is not officiating in the playoffs.

I am a male official but everytime I see her officiate, I feel nothing but a sense of admiration for her. I'm sure the things she had to go through to be where she is now is a testament to how strong this woman is. She may make a few bad calls from time to time (who doesn't?) but she couldn't be where she is now if she isn't a darn good official.

I was reading up on some of the NBA refs profiles in their website (www.thenbra.org) and I saw that some male refs with as much experience as she has are getting playoff assignments for the first time this year. I believe she's been in the NBA for 10 years now.

Any ideas why she's not reffing the playoffs?
