And there was an article in Referee Magazine which had an interview with DeRosa and his retirement from the NBA. One of his stated reasons is he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Correct. Joe decided to retire after considering it for a couple of years.

Joe only officiated 5 years of HS and college ball before joining the NBA circa 1990.

Not sure about Sean but I see him working ACC games quite often. He dos a solid job. You don't hear or read about him being associated with screwups.
