Exclamation NBA - Chris Paul Criticizing a Female Official

http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/...ree/ar-AA92S9k

"If that's the case, this might not be for her.""

What do you think the fine's gonna be here?

If Paul's account of the rest of the exchange proves true, probably minimal.

I think he is going to have to clarify what he meant. For one he was making these comments after the game. He might have said other things that got him a T during the game. So I am sure that will be in the game report too. I think $10,000 might be the max he will get at this time.

Peace

"Paul, who also is head of the National Basketball Players Association, and several other Clippers players said after postgame interviews that their displeasure had nothing to do with Holtkamp's gender and everything to do with the calls she made on the court."

Replace "her" with "him" and he could have easily applied that statement to any other rookie official.

I think the fine will be around $25K, which is in line with most recent fines for public criticism of officials.

1) he criticized her as an inexperienced official, not as a female official.

2) his account of what happened sounds like a bunch of jibberish

When's the last time a player said that officiating "may not be for him" with regard to a rookie male official?

Maybe he was not, but it was very dismissive of her. Not sure he would have said that if she was a male. So he set himself up for that one if that is not what he really meant.

Looked like a game that was full of unnecessary BS and the crew took care of business.

Good for them. Hopefully the league stands behind them.

I just saw the replay on ESPN for Chris Paul's play. I'll just say he a straight up liar in his accounting of what happened. I've lost all respect for him.

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.

I watched all the 3rd quarter techs and I totally agree. All of them looked 100% to me. Holtkamp should be getting praise from this situation.

Can anyone ever remember the focus of a player on a rookie official? This is why I do not why I do not believe Paul at all.

Peace

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.
