From what I hear the biggest headaches for NBA refs are all the requirements AFTER the game is over. An incredible amount of scrutiny, accountability and "paperwork".

The travel aspects in the NBA are actually a lot better than they are for a 70-100 game NCAA ref. In the NBA they are limited in the amount of games they can work per week and they have a mandated 2-week vacation during the season (maybe not this year though).
