JR first lent me Earl's book, "Calling The Shots" and I very much enjoyed it. Although I did watch NBA basketball growing up, I knew nothing about the officials. I didn't start paying any attention to NBA officials until maybe 5 years ago. Having said that, I can see clearly how Earl would be a favorite.
For me, the NBA is Joey Crawford, Violet Palmer, and the African-American official who is built like no other NBA official I've seen. His "V" torso is huge!!!
NC2A is Ted Valentine and I like to watch Phil Bova's way to move around the court - it's funny.
However, I know that I would love to see Dave officiate a game.
We have a local official named Mike Eden who has some of the best mechanics I've ever seen. And he's a great guy, too.
Also, NFL: #85 Hochuli. And the NHL: Ray Scapinello.
