Her name is Simone Jelks.

Former USC hoopster.

Stands 6-feet tall.

Author of a book titled One-on-One: A Gentleman's Guide To Dating An Ambitious Woman.

Look for many more female NBA officials in years to come.

Dee Kantner and Violet Palmer were trailblazers back in the late 1990's.

But the league then suddenly steered clear of female officials over the next 15-20 years.

Not anymore.

NBA commish Adam Silver envisions the day when half the officials are female.

Sometimes the best man for the job is a woman.

And sometimes it isn't.

violet palmer was in the league for a long time.

the only reason she was in the league was because she was a black woman.

she was easily a bottom 3 ref every year she was in the leauge.

I dont mind see female refs.

They can blow block/charge calls just like a guy. But to have a goal of having half the league with female refs is not the right direction. Thats why we have a wnba league. If a female is legit very good let her work the NBA.

No problem with that. But having the idea that half the refs need to be female leads to many better refs being passed over because they stand when they piss.

When I reffed I would do about 5-ish games every year with a female official

I never had an issue with it because I knew they would not be assigned to the game if they were not competent. I have nothing but great things to say about every female official I ever worked with. With one exception. She was incompetent which is why they got rid of her.

I have no problem with a female officiating games. IF SHE IS COMPETENT!

Lauren Holtkamp is an NBA Official because she has a different set of plumbing than most other refs. To say she is incompetent would be a compliment.

Hopefully Simone is not as pathetic as Lauren Holtkamp. A pure EOE hire and generally recognized as either the worst official or in the Bottom 3.

All I hear is how great NBA Officials are. Watch this play. Buddy Hield TRAVELS and it is OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE. But 3 people. Sadly the 3 with a whistle

Jokic thought Barnes took too many steps.

But his opinion doesn't matter.

I know some HS three-person crews that added females to their team to help their post-season assignments.

It worked everytime.

The WIAA loved to show crews at the state games that had females as part of the three-person crew all the time. The females didnt have to be great and I will say I didnt see any awful ones but the inside joke was two average guys could get noticed by adding an average women to their team.

onward and upward.

We both know tons more guys that are awful that still get games. Out of shape and don't look to get better yet because they have been working the same area for years they continue to get assignments.

100% agree. Most are on the board and make sure their ratings stays high even though it shouldn't be. We have also had more than a few officials "eat their way" out of high level games to lower ones

Not in our Assn. You have to do at least 10 Varsity games to be eligible for post-season consideration. In our Assn there really aren't any 3-person girls games and there is a 0% chance they will be added to a crew for a boys game.

But the rest of what you say is true. There is one female in the Assn that is BRUTAL! As awful as it gets yet she gets high level games and goes far in the playoffs when the way she officiates does not merit it. On my worst day I am light years better than her on her best day. But because she is a female and I am not......................

[QUOTE="DotPark, post: 7672927, member: 49947"]Is the CIF gonna try and have a season?
I have a game here in MA next Wed night.[/QUOTE]

TRY!

Yes!

Gonna be able to pull it off? Doubt it! Our first meeting is supposed to be Jan 18. I just don't see that happening. I just don't see how they can play in late Feb/early March. I just don't. They wanted to play football in early January. NO CHANCE!

I am actually hoping for no season. My right hip is still not right. I have seen an Ortho doc and I have never gotten an answer as to whether the cancer knocked my hip out of place OR if my right leg is a tad shorter than my left because the cancer did eat away a little bit of the bone and my oncologist said it will not grow back and I might have fatigue issues because of it. If they do play I am not sure I can do it. Pushing things back to October/November will give me more time. I will give me 27 months since I ended Chemo and I hope to be ready then knowing if not - I am done. The one thing that hurt as almost much as the cancer was knowing if I had reffed in 2018-19 I would have gotten a playoff game for the first time in (what would have been) 17 years. THAT HURT! A LOT! Now my goal is to be ready for the Nike 3-on-3 in August in the streets of Downtown LA and played at the Staples Center area.

Congrats on being able to play in MA
