No matter who you like, we can all agree on one thing:
Any game in which June Courteau is reffing will be a badly called, totally screwed up mess.
and all a fan can do is pray that the shit falls on the side you want it to.

I concur. Why is she doing the finals?

I agree..is that possible that the only people who recognize that she is a horrible ref are the fans? the fans, regardless of which team they are pulling for?

Courteau seemed to be in the middle of the most obvious fuck-ups, including the false report of the double T.
Seriously, though. June Courteau is made of FAIL.

If it's that frustrating for us, imagine how frustrating it is for the players.

All I thought when the game started was WTF is she doing there. You can't tell me she's the one of the best of the crop.

maybe she's retiring after this season and it's her farewell tour.

June made the worst call I've even seen in a basketball game..ever...nine years later I still remember it..it was THAT bad.
I'm rooting for Catch to accidently run her over..

The only thing June brings to a game is The Suck.

Amen SuziQ!!!!
I have always thought June Courteau was one of the worst refs in the NCAA and the W. Every time she officiated a game in Atlanta, I made a point to speak to her and heckle her before the game started. She always jokes around, but she knows she is bad. She even made a comment once that she wondered how long we would "cordially" speak to her once she started officiating the game. We all laughed and said she was right because she was mostly going to be the one screwing up the game.
She definitely needs to retire...IMO.

what gets me, is that no matter how much the fans protest, and no matter how much the players and coaches (in private) protest, this woman still has a job in this league. She is brutal... the game has passed her by.
no official should insert themselves in decisions in critical moments the way she does....let the players determine the winner... it's embarrassing and downright shameful.

further evidence that NO ONE in the WNBA league office, actually KNOWS the game of basketball.

How can the league fix a problem when they don't even acknowledge that one exists?

What the WNBA needs is referees who work the WNBA season and the WNBA season only. June, like a lot of other referees are overworked and need to concentrate on one level of basketball or the other. One month after the WNBA season is over, June goes back to the NCAA until the second week of April. Six weeks after that, she's back to the WNBA. Time to end the nonsense and get dedicated refrees for the league where they can take the off-season to sharpen their skills rather than having to backtrack to the level of the NCAA._________________ If you cannot inspire yourself to read a book about women's basketball, or any book about women's sports, you cannot inspire any young girl or boy to write a book about them. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Richardstrek
