I watch them b/c I have a couple of very good friends working those games plus I see other guys whom I've met in camps or on my conference staffs.

Plus by visiting the NBA's summer league web site, you can find the names and shirt numbers of each official for each game under the box score section.

Here's a sample.

I read this off of ESPN.com today and thought it was funny:

Joe Borgia, vice president of referee operations and George Tolliver, the NBA director of D-League officials, sit courtside directly in front of press row where they evaluate game officials. A half hour prior to the Wizards-Hornets game, Washington summer league coach Sam Cassell came over to emphatically protest a call from the Wizards' last game. Cassell felt that the official who whistled the play was out of position. His monologue went on for a good three minutes, as Borgia and Tolliver politely listened, then offered an explanation. Cassell was only marginally satisfied as he walked away, after which Borgia, with a deadpan smile, said, "He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about."

What?! A former player not knowing the rules of basketball......no way
