My friend was doing a youth tournament when a parent asked him for his name because they were going to introduce the refs during the pre-game introductions. My buddy says "Dick Bavetta". The parent does not get the joke so he asks him how to spell it. Lo and behold, this guy introduces him as Dick Bavetta. Some in the crowd laugh but nobody tells the guy who's Dick Bavetta. The tournament continues the next day and "Dick Bavetta" is refereeing again. The PA guy goes to one official to ask his name and says to my buddy "I remember you from your yesterday, you're Dick Bavetta" To this day, I don't think anyone ever told him.
