Violet Palmer is bad, but so are 70% of the refs in the NBA. The other 2 refs with her in today's game just as bad.
I understand bad calls, but there were about three to four really bad calls on Yao. The Traveling, Birdman on the ground, and the clean, and I mean CLEAN block.
I was at the game and am hoarse now just from yelling at her. It's not just her gender it is the fact that she is just atrocious. She started making make up calls in the end because I think even she realized how awful her calls were. I'll say this, I think she was pretty much right about most of the calls she made against the Rockets - but there was zero consistency. During the end of the game it was not surprising that the Denver player looked shocked at the fouls being called as they had gotten away with the same crap the whole game.
hahaha...Even b4 the game started..when bill worrell mentioned violet palmer was one of the refs..i was like OH *****!! NOOOO...sure enough i was yelling a lot more other things as the game progressed.. definately one of the worst ones. However, there are 3 refs in the game, and i thought the denver game was a show of how crappy refs are in the league. pathetic
She's doing a disservice to everyone who actually would do a good job given the opportunity afforded them by AA. Face it, if she were male she would be out of a job.
when I saw her come on the court I knew it was going to be a long day, I try not to focus on her but she brings the focus to her. She didn't make the worst call of the game, that was ref #52 He got everbody up on that travel call
