I know there was talk on here a while back about it, but I couldent find it. Why was Dee fired from the NBA?

Also what is the website for NBA refs?

Thanks

It will be interesting to hear what others say about this.

I heard that she just wasn't good enough to them. This isn't saying she isn't a good Women's college official that is just what I heard.

Good link, Tony. It basically says what I'd heard previously. It was simply low rankings, according to the league. I'm glad that the article got Dee's comments. She seems to have handled it with class.

I asked this question to a few NBA refs that I know a couple years ago and off the record I was told she had some on-court professionalism issues as well as not being rated high enough.

The league still thinks highly enough of her though to promote her to the position of WNBA's Supervisor of Officials this past year.
