Violet Palmer was one of two female referees in the NBA.  Now she?s on her own after the league let Dee Kantner go.

Evidently Kantner was ranked last out of the 59 referees in an evaluation by the league.  

Ron Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal observes that there are plenty of male referees who don?t make the mark.  He fingers Jim Kinsey.

And he goes on to say that NBA officiating director Ed Rush said Kinsey also has been dismissed.

Wonder what Mark Cuban will think of this action at the DQ?
