ref18, being from Steel Town, perhaps you're slightly better to tell this story, but I've heard it quite a few times, having Ron Foxcroft as a guest speaker at various officiating conferences.

Go to fox40whistle.com and click on the Fox 40 Story.
I've haven't had the oppertunity to meet Ron yet, but they showed a video about him in business class, and the Fox 40 story on the website is the same as what he said in this video. I think now he's working as an NBA evaluator, and is looking for a Canadian to be the next NBA official.
Yes, in Toronto and Detroit from what I hear.

He's had quite the officiating career.
