Sally Bell has gotten a taste of everything women’s basketball has to offer as an official. Fifteen Final Fours, the Summer Olympic Games and eight seasons calling games in the WNBA were part of the career for the longtime resident of Gainesville, who now lives in Dahlonega. Over the course off 33 years, she officiated more than 7,000 games — the bulk of those at the college level.
