Thanks for the compliment about my father and Jake. I believe Ed Rush was the alternate in 1988 for Game 7.
A few things about Game 7's in the finals. I read an article about Joey Crawford in the NY Times which said he has worked 3 of these games (true) and that this is a record (false). Mendy Rudolph worked six Game 7's in the finals which is the record. My father worked five in the NBA (1966, 1969, 1978, 1984 and 1988) and one in the ABA (1971) so he sort of is tied with Mendy. Plus I can make the case that if my father hadn't jumped to the ABA he would have worked the Game 7's in 1970 and 1974 with Mendy instead of Richie Powers.
