Rebecca Lobo has a strong list of achievements within the sport of basketball. Evidently, though, at least one AAU referee doesn't feel she belongs. Lobo shared a video message on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, detailing an incident that happened while she was coaching her 15-year-old son's AAU team. "We're at an AAU tournament today and something happened to me that's never happened before. One of my kids gets hit. I yell, probably too loudly, 'That's a foul.' So, one ref, a man, Ts me up. So, as the kid on the other team is shooting a free throw, the other ref came over and said, 'Your kid slipped.' And I said, 'He didn't slip. He got fouled.' I said it in that [calm] tone. I said it in that [calm] volume. And this ref, a man, looked at me and he said, 'This is a grown man's game. This is not a women's game.'" Been coaching my son's basketball teams for the past six years. Something new happened today. It wasn't awesome. pic.twitter.com/buL6rJNKT9 — Rebecca Lobo (@RebeccaLobo) May 17, 2024 Lobo, who is a Hall of Famer in both the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, then shared a plug for Saturday afternoon's WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and New York Liberty. "Anyway. Tomorrow. I hope everyone tunes in to watch the grown women of the Indiana Fever play against the grown women of the New York Liberty." [Rebecca Lobo on X] About Michael:
