Yeah, Fletch it comes from baseball.

I've coached baseball for the last 10 years and took my first basketball job this year. I had to work real hard the first few games to say "ref" instead of "blue" or "ump".

The same thing goes the other way. When Michael Jordan was playing baseball I remember sportscenter showing an interview after one of his games and Michael kept calling the umpires, "refs"
