Congrats Eli! You deserve it!

Good for him.
 

I have read that they would not give you that opportunity if you did WNBA games. At least that is what Don Rutledge said in an interview a few years ago to Referee Magazine. Good for him. I hope he takes advantage of his opportunity.

You go Eli!!! ;)

Peace

Congratulations and mega amounts of luck to Eli!

BTW, feel free to come back and ask us questions relating to your games - I'm sure you know how much we all like to chip in our two cents.

Awesome Eli. Just awesome.

Bill Kennedy came from the WNBA to the NBA a few years ago. Are there any others that have made the switch? Best of luck Eli !!!!!

I appreciate the kind words from everybody. I am very excited about it and expect to learn a lot from the whole experience.[QUOTE]Originally posted by BOBBYMO
[B]Actually, the last 6 people hired over the last two years have all been from the WNBA and they also worked in the CBA.
Derrick Collins, Gary Zielinski, Pat Fraher, Mike Henderson, Courtney Kirkland, and Jason Phillips. Most people hired from now on will come from the WNBA and they will also be in the NBDL.

Good Job
 

Well that is great. Maybe that attitude will trickle down to other levels. Probably not thought.

Congradulations still. Hope it all works out for the best. Always great to see someone accomplish their goals.

Peace

Congratulations Eli. Make the best of the opportunity.

Wow! That's awesome...saw you work in Portland a couple times and was very impressed! Good luck!!

Congratulations Eli! Best of luck!

Congrats Eli, just great.

CONGRATS ELI!
