violet is by far the worst ref in the nba, she is an absolute joke

lol im not a nuggets fan, but as a basketball fan that was a terrible call

I love how all these 'fans' sit at home and think they can do a better job officiating. The bump at the beginning of the play was marginal, it didn't mess up his shot at all. The defense had legal guarding position: inside his vertical plane, torso facing the defender, and established his spot on the floor PRIOR to upward motion. Clearly a charge this call is CORRECT.

it is true her calls have been terrible in the past. while it is her job to get the calls right what her main purpose is to encourage more women to become refs. The training of female refs will become better. It just looks good to none nba fans. She is kind of just like a Danica Patrick. Theyre both not suppose to be good, theyre just suppose to be out there.

What she did to Memphis tonight against the Clippers was an absolute crime.

@press3copz False, the play originated outside of the lane, i.e. Birdman caught the ball outside the lane, and the defender's back foot was inside of the arc below the basket. Automatic block call. Plus he was fouled before he collided with the defensive player. Also in the NBA the defender needs to be in position before the offensive player begins his "upward motion," not when he jumps. College it's when he jumps but NBA its basically when he starts to bring the ball up. BAD CALL

@press3copz

You need to check the rules......CLEARLY INSIDE THE ARC.......In order for it to be a charge, the defensive player needs to establish position OUTSIDE OF THE ARC......OUTSIDE means BOTH feet....not one......Bitch blew the call.....AGAIN....she's the worst ref in the history of sports.....ALL sports.

[press3copz]

If any of you "FANS" think that's a block you OBVIOUSLY HAVE NEVER OFFICIATED ANY BASKETBALL GAME AT ANY LEVEL. My grand 7yr old grandson could make that if I explained block/charge to him WHICH IS: When a player establishes "legal guarding position"--that's both feet on the floor facing the opponent. The defender established his position BEFORE the offensive player became "air borne" and thus the offensive's player protection of "verticality" no longer applies. Bottom line--CORRECT CALL!

@GooGooBear24 Terrible logic. He's not in a position to "Get out there and do it" whereas she is and she's fucking terrible at it

[GooGooBear24]

I'm glad you know what the hell you're talkin about when you post videos like this. What the hell do you know about officiating basketball or the rules of basketball? When was the last time you read a rule book? If you think she doesn't do a good job, you get out there and do it.

[tehjoemastah]

If you think this was an offensive foul, you need to brush up on the rules regarding that little arc under the basket.

[Marakulous43]

And how is this not an offensive foul? Another typical Denver fan complaining about a good call.
