NBA - Chris Paul Criticizing a Female Official

[zm1283]

Lauren played in college here and started officiating in our association. I don't know her since she had moved before I started, but from all accounts she is top notch.

The paper had an article about all this today and posted it on their Facebook page. Locals are taking jabs at her, including some high school officials, which is pretty low.

Jealousy....typical HS association backbiting towards officials who choose to rise to upper levels of officiating.

Even if she was a horrible official when there (doubtful), the local officials should STFU. I wouldn't want to work with any of them, personally.

"Paul got his technical when, after a Cleveland free throw, the Clippers were attempting to inbound the ball quickly, but Holtkamp stepped in and Paul questioned her."

Why does the official have to handle the ball after made free throw?

it was not after a free throw. it was after a turnover and one of the Clippers snatched the ball from her

It was a turnover off a bad pass by LeBron, not after a free throw.

Like Abraham Lincoln said, "Don't believe everything that you read on internet".

Those that watch the NBA would recognize the situation: turnover after a recent stoppage in play (meaning there would be no subs) and a low clock. I've seen refs grab the ball and give it to the players right away within a couple seconds, which is much faster than your average ceremonial throw-in. Apparently CP3 got impatient this time.

Watching the video, she moved just as fast as possible on this.

Not the issue.

Not entirely true...outside of two minutes in each quarter, if there's a violation where the ball will be inbounded in the backcourt, the substitute must already be in the substitution box at the time of the violation.
