I think I speak for most Celtics fans, and probably most NBA fans, and DEFINITELY Cedric Maxwell when I say goodbye, and good riddance. It has nothing to do with the fact she was a woman, but the fact that she was just terrible at her job. She wasn't fired, but is leaving the NBA for some other womans officiating overseer job. Hopefully we can weed out these terrible referees one by one.
