I'm sharing a request to help identify these refs from a 1978 picture.

A younger Pat Tilman, a thinner Bill Clinton, and a shorter Artis Gilmore.

Which one is the shorter Artis Gilmore: The center one or the one on the right (no, I mean your other right, ).

MTD, Sr.

With that stache and sideburns, I nailed it! He's just not seven feet tall is all.

PS - As we say in the military, right as in facing!

Pretty sure the official on the right is Jim Capers Sr.

Just as interesting, where was this taken? It looks like a place they would place exhibition games, as opposed to an actual NBA arena.

Question
Are you sure of the year this was taken? The NBA didn't start using three officials until 1988.

Could have been a playoff game with a stand-by official.
