Natalie Sago and Jenna Schroeder made up two-thirds of the crew assigned to the Charlotte at Orlando game, the first time in NBA history that two women were assigned to work a regular-season contest together. Sean Wright was picked to be crew chief, Sago the referee and Schroeder the umpire. Sago and Schroeder have worked games together before; they were part of three-woman crews in the G League. That lineup has since been switched, but Sago is certain this game won’t be the NBA’s last with multiple female refs. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
