Was Chris Paul Wrong?

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul is in the news for some post game comments made by Paul on Thursday night after Los Angeles' loss in Cleveland. First year NBA ref Lauren Holtkamp gave the 8 time NBA All-Star a technical foul following an altercation between Paul and Holtkamp where he questioned her judgement on an inbound play. The Clippers point guard aired his frustrations out post game by saying "The tech that I get right there was ridiculous. I don't care what nobody says, I don't care what she says; that's terrible. There's no way that can be a tech. ... That's ridiculous. If that's the case, this might not be for her."

Terry weighed in and believes Paul needs to know when to hold his tongue. "In this day and age, everybody is looking for something to get crazy about,  to get upset over  to offended by and to lose their mind over. We are the most politically correct crew ever everybody is always saying something that's going to hurt someones feelings."

After hearing what Chris had said for the first time, Scott believes that Paul could face some punishment for his remarks. "That will get you in trouble I think because he's basically saying that she is not qualified to do this."

So we ask you, was Chris Paul in the wrong for criticizing a female official?
