MANILA, Philippines – Jane Umana on Thursday became the first female referee to work in a PBA D-League game when she officiated the Foundation Cup contest between Livermarin and KeraMix.
Umana was the first woman referee to work a game in the D-League’s four-year existence.
PBA media bureau chief explained to Spin.ph that if the women referees do a good job in the D-League, they may eventually be promoted to work PBA games.
