I was going to go with Richard Roundtree (the ORIGINAL Shaft) but thought the name might be a bit to vague. So I went with his 'replacement'!

At that time that is what Roundtree's hair looked like.

Quote:
During the 1978-79 season, the NBA added a third referee on an experimental basis. The following season, 1979-80, the NBA did not retain the three-referee experiment. In 1988-89, the NBA decided to permanently add a third referee for all games.

They all look alike to me anyway. I agree it is Jim Bouton.

You have to know the important things in life. Whointhehell cares about some old NBA refs from '78?
Don't waste your time with the ones crossed out.

I believe the guy on the left is Garretson, before his hair grayed.

The middle guy is definitely Jack Madden.

I think the guy on the right is too tall to be Capers Sr. I'm thinking Hugh Evans.

78 or maybe 79 based on the source article at Sportscaster Cards Database

As of now, I'm going with Darrel Garreston and Madden. Not convinced on the shaft-do (third) guy. Here are pictures of Garretson, Hugh Evans and Capers Jr.
