The Larry Brown quote

[LoudBottom]

"There's a simple statistic. We're 1-7 with one referee, and we're 11-1 with the rest." — LARRY BROWN

According to the Detroit Free the stats are actually:

In 2005 Playoffs

Ron Garretson 0-4
Dan Crawford 1-3
Games without either of those two: 12-1

I'm throwing this out there for a couple reasons that I'm curious about.

1) As Officials, how can this be explained?

2) I am uneducated when it comes to who determines who refs, and where. Are there occasions where certain officials are held back from ref'ing teams that they've had "issues" with.

3) Are there accessible sites that has more information like this? Or is everything behind closed doors?
