Good to see a former member of this forum officiating the NBA Finals. Ben Taylor used to participate before being hired by the NBA way back in the Jurassic Ref days.

He used to catch a lot of flack from a few of the older folks (especially Jurassic) for some of the stuff he would say, but apparently he did have a little insight on how some things should be done.

I attended a camp with him when he was still a 20-year-old student at Middle Tennessee State, that was back around 2004.

I met him in Orlando in the early 2000s, when I was there for a college tournament and he was at an IAABO camp. He caught flak for not having a visible 10-second backcourt count. LOL Nice guy, and now has a beautiful family.

I also worked with Josh Tiven when he still did college ball. And I met Zach Zarba a few times at camps and try-outs. I feel like I'm practically working the Finals myself! :D:D
