She just didn't catch it. Ejecting him was stupid. As is the entirety of the NBA.
This woman referette just blew her chances of reffing in the playoffs, I’d wager.
If the ref were a regular guy, like a Dick Bavetta, the toss would have meant nothing, and Doncic would have no reason to be a “White Knight”. A men’s basketball game is better without women referees.
“It was justifiable to eject him”
It was the fault of the ref who over reacted. He tossed the ball to her from a seated position with a two handed pass from the chest. He didn’t use an overhead or a one armed pass that would have been stronger. And she had the opportunity to tap the ball down and could have caught it. And if the act was that bad, blindside or tossing it too hard with obvious intent, why didn’t another official get into the call as it is their job to observe the action away from the ref? She had to go to them.
I called a flagrant misconduct tech on a player in an adult city game where my fellow official called traveling on him and when my partner turned his head, the guy one handed fired the ball at him. He never saw it. So it was up to me to call the play and disqualify the player for the remainder of the game. Making a subjective rather than objective call is failure of an official and can lose control of the game.
And it comes down to proving the fan threw the ball at the official with intent to harm. Not with what I saw.

I’m disappointed- i went through this entire thread and not a single comment about the hot chick with the great rack this guy was with....and she never got up when they threw him out!!!
The ball went out of bounds directly at him. Have you ever sat in the folding chairs behind an out of bounds line in a serious basketball game? That ball was going to touch him one way or another.
The whole thing is more pro ball ridiculousness.
Well, at least one ref could recognize a foul.
Roll it softly on the ground; there’s a reason refs aren’t players.
