2009 NBA Playoff Referees and Results

[wanja]

Searchable list of 2009 NBA playoff games with referee assignments, ref photos, scores and boxscore links is available at 2008/09 NBA Season . List also includes all 2008/09 regular season NBA games. An NBA referee roster including ages, photos, hometowns, birthplaces and schools is available at Philadelphia Basketball Referee - NBA Referee Roster

The most constant appearances in the NBA playoffs are the referees. The playoff rookies this year are Pat Fraher, Zach Zarba and Gary Zielinski. The only playoff veterans from last year that have not received an assignment are Bob Delaney, Lou Grillo, Courtney Kirkland and Rodney Mott. Dick Bavetta continues to amaze at 69 years of age in his 33rd year in the NBA. Playoff assignments so far are listed below. I'll periodically update the list.

The NBA website posts game officials the day of the game for all games.

Thanks, you can tell how much NBA I watch... Finals is about it.

I would assume the NCAA does nothing like that. If they did, that will greatly influence which games I watch.
