"Letting Them Play..."

[Bearfanmike20]

Definitely a political decision at the beginning. BUt there are other people who they could put in to fill the PC needs. If Violet Palmer wasn't good, she'd be gone. She's moved up, she's well spoken of, she's in place. All because the NBA thinkx she's good.

This is true because the NBA let go of the only other female official because of poor performance.

I've been researching this and found that little nugget.

One time, my team was playing a game. For some reason, the officials did not want the players to play. So every time the players from either team would start to play, the officials would blow the whistle and call some type of violation. The only time the officials did not call anything was when they missed an inbound violation, and A1 held the ball without dribbling at half court, and the other 4 offensive players and 5 defensive players stood motionless. When A1 got tired and A2 tried to take his place, the subsequent bounce pass was deemed a basketball manuver, so a violation was called. I was left with no choice but to yell at the officials "let them play!!!"

True story...

I'm guessing it's a unique skill to be able to type with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek.

Yup, and this particular coach is well practiced in this art.
