The Devil's Advocate

I have no problem with women officiating at any level. If they have the skills and can do the job, as my daughter would say; "You Go, Girl"

I heard part of an interview with Don Nelson a few weeks ago after a female official ran him. He said he was shocked he got the first T because she normally does not have a quick trigger. Now he claims his comments about the call were not personal (yea right, he's a coach) He went on to say she, like some of his players in the part of the game he saw, were not "on top of their game that night" Then he added she is one of the better officials so he chalked it up to a bad night, one of those things. Sounds like he also thinks women can handle the top level of officiating.
