OT: Who is the best player you ever officiated?
Has anyone officiated games with future NBA or NCAA stars? Did you know they were great at the time?

Officiated a men's league tournament, player 'michael watson' from univ missouri-in kans city, more of a point guard scorer type. Drafted and Played for Celtics ~1998 2000 maybe not an Nba allstar but he competes in the local men's league, you could tel he was 15 yrs from prime but still play in a way 'above' the normal players--as expected a professional vs. amateur player would though. I called a travel on him in the game, to his astonishment.

HS basketball had Marcus Monk several times. He went on to play football at Arkansas. Drafted by the Bears, played a little for the Giants and last I knew he was playing pro basketball in Germany.

Off topic, but I was behind the dish for a HS no hitter pitched by Adam LaRoche.

Tierra Ruffin-Pratt.

She went on to play for UNC and now is in the WNBA.

Silky-smooth talent in HS. Very unselfish, team player.

This is a fun thread.

I haven't reffed for anyone famous, but I was at a youth tournament last weekend featuring a 6'8 8th grader named Nobal Days out of the Kenosha/Racine, Wisconsin area. I'm sure he's already gotten dozens of college recruiting letters, if not scholarship offers.

Lacedarius Dunn. He went on to Baylor and became the all
time leading scorer in the Big 12. Plays in Europe now, I think.
