I think I remember that somebody posted in this forum that a study showed that officials contributed to home court advantage. The recent thread about the Duke/MD game reminded me about the possibility. I am unable to find any reference to such a study on the Internet. I can find studies that suggest that a home court advantage exists, but I can't find one that concludes that officials are part of the advantage. Is my memory about the post accurate? If so, does anybody have a citation?
