Ever heard an NBA referee testing their whistle pre-game? Before each game, all referees check in with the scorer’s table to make sure their whistles are properly synced to the precision timing devices on their belt packs which stops the game clock at the sound of the whistle.

Love this!!

“A country must be great to call for the sacrifice of such men. America will always be great because such men have fallen in order that the principles expressed in our Constitution will endure. The people of America will realize what that gold star means…and will resolve to keep America worthy of such men.”

The White Jacket symbolizes the pinnacle of the officiating profession. Different from the black, red or blue warm up jackets worn by referees during the regular season and playoffs, each NBA Referee selected to officiate in the NBA Finals receives a White Jacket to be worn on game day, the highest honor for a current NBA Officials. 

In Part 1 of our White Jacket series, one of tonight’s NBA Finals Referees, Josh Tiven, shares what the White Jacket symbolizes to him.
