Better officiating in our future?

Two months ago, the Pac-10 announced the appointment of Violet Palmer as the Pac-10 Conference’s Coordinator of Women’s Basketball Officiating,

Recently, Michelle Smith interviewed Ms Palmer, who said, "Our [west coast] refereeing hasn’t been as good [as on the east coast] and it’s going to get better." She is instituting a new training program for Pac-10 officials and said she will insist on a greater reliance on video review and a high standard of professionalism.

I wish her great success with the program and look forward to its bringing more consistency and better judgment to Maples.
