Archbishop Carroll High School graduate Natasha Camy is a veteran referee who has officiated all the big games—BIG 10 conference playoffs, SEC conference playoffs, and WNIT Finals, writes Esfandiar Baraheni for Forbes.

She was there for Caitlin Clark’s final regular season home game and, most recently, she officiated at the most watched women’s basketball game ever—Iowa vs. LSU in the Elite Eight of the 2024 NCAA women’s tournament.

The Drexel Hill native and former Widener University women’s basketball player was an NCAA Division III athlete.

“I thought I was going to the league and then at some point, reality sets in,” Camy said. “I couldn’t jump as high or run as fast, but I knew I wanted to stay close to it.” 

So she officiated the games instead.

Camy is founder of the Referee Ready Academy and Referee Ready Foundation, working to encourage more women to enter the male-dominated field of refereeing.

She also participated in the Basketball Africa League’s AL4HER program as an ambassador.

That led to her being an investor in the BAL’s South Africa club the Cape Town Tigers.

And unlike the NBA, with an infrastructure in place, the African team is being built from scratch.

“That’s what I love about it. You get to build something from practically nothing.”
