On the Canadian scene, Ron Foxcroft who was the inventor of the Fox40 whistle has two sons, Steve and Dave, who are officials. Steve has worked numerous Canadian basketball finals and is a member of the Buffalo Bills' Chain Gang, while Dave is a CFL (Canadian Football League) official.

Doh! I knew Ed's son had something to do with officiating and the NBA so I put two and two together and grabbed his name off the nba ref's website. I humbly apologize.

WHo's to say that Ed Sr. didn't have a little bit of Wilt's blood in him, and while on some of those long and lonely road trips didn't find some love with a few chocolate honeys, therefore enabling him to have black offspring?

Danny Crawford, NBA ref from Chicago, has a brother that officiates also. Mostly college I believe.
