League to List Referees on Day of Game

Posted Oct 30 2007 8:52AM

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2007 – Following the annual NBA Board of Governors meeting last Thursday, NBA Commissioner David Stern informed the media on a national conference call that the league would begin announcing referee lineups for each game beginning with Opening Night.

“We are going to post, relatively soon, each day the referees who are working that night's games so that we can eliminate some advance knowledge or secretive edge that someone might have in knowing who the referees are,” said Stern.

Beginning on Tuesday, at 9 a.m. every morning, the NBA will post the referees working each game for that evening on the league website (NBA.com). Only the games from that particular day will be listed.

The referee lineups will be posted at http://www.nba.com/news/referee.html.

Um, did Stern just admit that knowing who is refing a game gives ... anyone ... a "secretive edge" in ... something?

No no no! Absolutely not. There is no evidence of anything happening ever. This is just to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Just to placate the whiners, you see. Show's over folks. Nothing to see here. Move along.
